FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

Jerusalem

By Jez Butterworth
Directed by Rosemary Bianchi
11th – 19th May 2012

A bold, ebullient and often hilarious play about the charismatic traveller and drunk, Rooster Byron.

The Barn will be one of the first non-professional theatres to stage this critically acclaimed show, which had a sold-out run in the West End last year and is now repeating its success in New York, where it has already garnered six Tony awards.

Set in present-day rural Wiltshire, its dark, often ribald humour chronicles the state of the nation and the conflict between individuality and political correctness.

Tickets

Tickets are on sale now for just £10.

School groups pay only £5 per seat. Teachers interested in booking seats should contact our Education Coordinator Cindy Lawford Contact education team to find out about available workshops and talks on the play.
