Jerusalem by Jezz Butterworth plays The People’s Theatre from tonight (1st May) through to Saturday 5th May
This will be the theatrical event to catch this season.
In an exclusive for The People’s Theatre this performance has been authorised by the playwright in recognition of the esteem that our theatrical North East jewel is held in.
Considered a modern classic of British theatre Jerusalem has at its centre a character in the form of Johnny Rooster Byron who is Shakespearian in scale and magnificent in passion.
Telling the story of this Pied Piper ‘outsider’ living on the periphery (literally and emotionally) of our modern society.
Fuelled by rage ,drugs and alcohol Rooster is a man under pressure?
Wanted all over the place with his “chickens are coming home to roost”.
Roosters world is imploding and there is hell to pay!!
I can’t wait to see it.
You will kick yourself if you don’t!
Picture shows Peter Harrison as Johnny ‘Rooster’ Bryon
