Reviews are in for the West End revival of Jerusalem, written by Jez Butterworth, which opened at the Apollo Theatre April 28. The limited engagement began previews April 16 and has a limited engagement through August 7.
Starring in the West End return are Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook, reprising their roles of Johnny "Rooster" Byron and Ginger, respectively.
Jerusalem follows Johnny Byron, a wanted man, as he deals with the officials who want to evict him, his son who wants to go to the fair with him, Troy Whitworth who wants revenge, and a crew of mates who wants his supply of drugs and alcohol on the morning the local fair kicks off to celebrate St. George's Day.
