This play is very long…it contains some loud music…some
flashing lights…some violence…sexual references, and
references to drugs and alcohol abuse…there is smoking and
lots and lots of really serious swearing. So if any of these
things are likely to cause you offence we would recommend
that you give this show a miss…BUT if you would like to see
BLT give this modern classic one of its first amateur outings
please join us for our version of the 2009 Royal Court smash
that sold out at the Court and sold out again when it
transferred to the West End…and sold out on Broadway and then
sold out again in the West End after it’s triumphant return from
America. The Royal Court production which starred Mark
Rylance as Johnny ‘Rooster’ Byron won many awards including
several Oliviers and Tonys and received rave reviews like the
following…
there are several of the Royal Court’s trademark “in your face” shock
tactics and an exceptionally high swear word count even by the exacting
standards of the address, this rich three-hour play is also tender, touching, and
blessed with both a ribald humour and a haunting sense of the mystery of
things. —_The Daily Telegraph_

Jerusalem is a bold, ebullient and often hilarious State-of-England or
(almost) State-of-Olde-England play…[Johnny] is a shrewd, bold, defiant,
charismatic, even mesmeric man born out of his time. Imagine King Arthur
reincarnated as a troll and you have something of the quality he brings to the
debased pastoral he grittily, comically and finally mournfully inhabits —

Jez Butterworth’s astonishing new play – an invigorating, yelping, defiant
