Ensemble has a HIT with dark comedy JERUSALEM!

Ensemble Theatre Presents Jez Butterworth's JERUSALEM!

"Ensemble has a HIT with dark comedy JERUSALEM!" (Cleveland Jewish News) Click Quote to read entire review.

"One of the most exciting new plays in ages!" (New York Times).

"An instant modern Classic!" (Daily Telegraph).

On St. George's Day, the morning of the local county fair (deriving its sense of place from the annual carnival week at Pewsey, Wiltshire) Johnny "Rooster" Byron, local waster & modern day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, while his son, Marky, wants his dad to take him to the fair, Troy Whitworth wants to give him a serious kicking and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol. The play makes frequent allusions to Blake's eponymous poem from which its title is derived while conjuring the ancient spirits of Stonehenge and the English country side.

"Fantastic, Shocking, & Fresh!" (Daily Mail).

Cleveland Audiences are raving!:

"I hungered for more of the story at intermission as I do when my favorite TV shows leave me with a cliffhanger before the next week. I laughed at the subtle potshots and the grand storytelling alike. I fell in love and I had my heart broken and I saw myself and I saw the world through this performance. Congratulations cast and crew on an extraordinary delivery of this script. I'm grateful to have seen theatre that inspires me in life and on the stage. BRAVO."  -Devan Turchan.
