Jerusalem
Mr. Rylance has already dazzled Broadway this season, but his Johnny Byron is truly a performance for the ages.
Ben Brantley, New York Times
Why see Jerusalem?
On St George's Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron, local waster and modern day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his children want their dad to take them to the fair.
Troy Whitworth wants to give him a serious kicking and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
Jez Butterworth's new play is a comic, contemporary vision of life in our green and pleasant land.

Astonishing
Francine is brain dead and doesn't belong in a theatre.
Mark Rylance's artistry is beyond description. I have been very lucky to have seen the very finest the arts have to offer over the last 25 years and I have never ever heard or seen anything like the magic that man creates on stage. He is a force of nature and a true artistic genius. A word I never use unless is it absolutely warrented. DO NOT MISS IT. ... Read more

You'll never see better!
Incredible theater experience (this comes from an old NY girl who went to school and worked in the city!) -
Last minute first and second row seat, extreme right, for a party of six, turned out to be excellent. The performances, especially Mr. Rylance, were SUPERB! Memorable!
Definitely not for kids.
