Review
“An instant modern classic†– Charles Spencer, Daily TelegraphFOUR STARS: “A welcome blast of bracing fresh air. Tender, touching, and blessed with both a ribald humour and a haunting sense of the mystery of things.†– Charles Spencer, Daily TelegraphFOUR STARS: “Jerusalem is a bold, ebullient and often hilarious State-of-England or (almost) State-of-Olde-England play.†– Benedict Nightingale, The Times“One of the most exciting new plays in ages.†– Ben Brantley, New York Times “Magnificent… a great frame-busting play that still exists solidly within a conventional framework. Jerusalem could have been written in almost any year from the 1920s onward. Yet this work takes you places ― distant, out-of-time places ― that well-made plays seldom do. And it thinks big ― transcendently big ― in ways contemporary drama seldom dares.†– Ben Brantley, New York Times“Jez Butterworth’s gorgeous expansive new play keeps coming at its audience in unpredictable gusts, rolling from comic to furious, from winsome to bawdy.†– Susannah Clapp, The ObserverFIVE STARS: “An invigorating, yelping, defiant portrait of 21st century shires England.†– Quentin Letts, Daily MailFOUR STARS: “A wonderful, rollicking, dark comedy about contemporary life in rural England.†– Sarah Hemming, Financial TimesFIVE STARS: “Hilarious and/or gripping throughout.†– Caroline McGinn, Time Out London“Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem is one big, messy, exciting, long play.†– Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle“An instant modern classic” – Charles Spencer, Daily TelegraphFOUR STARS: “A welcome blast of bracing fresh air.

Jerusalem is about many things, from the hard partying gang that hangs about Rooster's rickety Airstream trailer, to the sadness of the discrimination against Romanys - Gitanes - Gypsies - of which he turns out to be one. Condemned to making money as a daredevil in his youth and a blood donor in middle age, Rooster is determined to live large - while the local town does its utmost to boot him out. In between, we are treated to the magic of central England, the fairies and giants and mystical beings that inhabit the woods and glens that for centuries have provided our legends. From Robin Hood to hobbits to Shrek, this setting is as fertile as they come, and author Jez Butterworth milks it to its fullest.The first two acts are riotously funny, setting us up for the dismal fall, which is obvious from the beginning - this can't last. And it doesn't. But along the way we are treated to Rooster's intelligence, his understanding of the way things work, and his role in them. It's a remarkable story of coping and survival in a hostile environment, buried in a haze of gin and marijuana, as anybody in his situation might descend to. To that point, Jerusalem is highly believable. This could (and of course has been) going on in real life. Only the wonderfully involved massive and mammoth lies that Rooster spins are obviously made up. He has made himself into one of the great legends of the woods, remaining Rooster while generation after generation of teenagers in search of something more hang out for a while and move on.A delightfully complex story, though readers don't have to get all this from reading it. As a straight story it is highly entertaining. But make no mistake, there is a masterpiece lurking in these pages.David Wineberg
I had heard a lot about Jerusalem and wondered what the fuss was about. After picking up a copy, it deserves every ounce of praise it has received. It is absolutely gorgeous! The story and characters leap off the page! If you are involved in theater, you need to read this. It should be in the theater cannon alongside Williams and Shakespeare. Gorgeous.

I have read the script several times now as we are interested in obtaining the rights for a performance. A few of the reviews were less than positive and many were a cool reception to the performances.If you focus on the bodacious side of the main character and the debauchery on the surface I can see the reasoning behind the reviews. I am not satisfied that Jez Butterworth's only thread for this script was the unrefined in opposition to the established. If you settle in and listen and observe you will find a very familiar love story.
Reading now and taking it to Toronto, Feb 2018, to see Jerusalem performed on stage at Crow's Theatre (Streetcar Crowsnest), starring Kim Coates (Son's of Anarchy). jerusalemto.ca
I purchased this play so I could be ready to watch the play produced by our local theatre group, The Rogue Theatre. I'm glad I did because this play has many subplots. I might have missed the references to historical events and mythology if I had watched the play "cold".
One of the best British plays in the last decade. Deceptively simple story with complex undertones of class, a vanishing rural life and traditions tied to nature, and pride, hubris, and downfall. A wonderful read!
I didn't enjoy it that much, but I am picky
