Whilst we very much hope we’ll be able to sit in a theatre before 2021, this is one show that’ll be worth the wait. Jez Butterworth’s smash hit play Jerusalem, is coming back to the stage next year (although we don’t know where or when) and Mark Rylance will be reprising the role of Rooster, with original director Ian Rickson also returning.
The play, which premiered at the Royal Court in 2009 followed by a West End and Broadway transfer, explores the realities of life in rural England through a band of misfits and wasters at a county fair. The play earned rave reviews and is widely considered one of the best British stage productions of all time, so if you didn’t catch it the first time around you won’t want to miss it again.
