"An instant modern classic" - Charles Spencer,
Daily Telegraph FOUR 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 Telegraph FOUR 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 Observer FIVE STARS: "An invigorating, yelping, defiant portrait of 21st century shires England." - Quentin Letts,
Daily Mail FOUR STARS: "A wonderful, rollicking, dark comedy about contemporary life in rural England." - Sarah Hemming,
Financial Times FIVE STARS: "Hilarious and/or gripping throughout." - Caroline McGinn,
Time Out London "Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem is one big, messy, exciting, long play." - Robert Hurwitt,
