Mike Bartlett’s new writing takes 2 hours and 45 minutes to ask a whole load of obvious questions; a wildly ambitious play that attempts to discuss the war on Iran, recent London riots, religion, funding cuts and student tuition fees – all, of course, with a female Prime Minister. The relation to today’s audience is admirable; though a little too palpable.

Jerusalem - review

Where's Peen been?

Apollo Theatre, London

*****

Middle to upper-class spectators fill the auditorium. Working class drunken disgraces fill the stage: the statements on class differences are prominent from the very beginning.

From Royal Court production to West End delight... 'Jerusalem' must not be missed.

This play had never been picked up by a director to direct, or theatre to be produced.
Until Mark Rylance (who gives a world class performance as Johnny 'Rooster' Byron) read it, and demanded he played that character.

****

A cast of 22 fill a claustrophobic room wall to wall with emotion. In the space of 65 minutes you will hear laughter, feel tense, see tears, and sense fear.

There is laughter aplenty during this 110 minute global trek as seven different walks of life have the audience confronted by the world in which they live where promises are (apparently) like eggs – easily broken.
