FOUR STARS: “A welcome blast of bracing fresh air. Tender, touching, and blessed with both a ribald humour and a haunting sense of the mystery of things.” – Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph

FOUR STARS: “Jerusalem is a bold, ebullient and often hilarious State-of-England or (almost) State-of-Olde-England play.” – Benedict Nightingale, The Times

“One of the most exciting new plays in ages.” – Ben Brantley, New York Times

“Magnificent… a great frame-busting play that still exists solidly within a conventional framework. Jerusalem could have been written in almost any year from the 1920s onward. Yet this work takes you places — distant, out-of-time places — that well-made plays seldom do. And it thinks big — transcendently big — in ways contemporary drama seldom dares.” – Ben Brantley, New York Times

“Jez Butterworth’s gorgeous expansive new play keeps coming at its audience in unpredictable gusts, rolling from comic to furious, from winsome to bawdy.” – Susannah Clapp, The Observer

FIVE STARS: “An invigorating, yelping, defiant portrait of 21st century shires England.” – Quentin Letts, Daily Mail

FOUR STARS: “A wonderful, rollicking, dark comedy about contemporary life in rural England.” – Sarah Hemming, Financial Times

FIVE STARS: “Hilarious and/or gripping throughout.” – Caroline McGinn, Time Out London

“Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem is one big, messy, exciting, long play.” – Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
