Jerusalem
When the Jebusites built Jerusalem around 2000 BC, it seems improbable that they ever envisioned the impact this city would have on the history and destiny of the human race. Against its historic background, with ancient ramparts alongside souvenir boutiques, people of many races and ethnic origins all try to buy a few drops of water from the Jordan or an olive branch as a precious souvenir of this holy city.

Jez Butterworth Plays: Two
'Come, you drunken spirits. Come, you battalions. You fields of ghosts who walk these green plains still. Come, you giants!' When Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2009, it served notice of an astonishing development in the career of a writer whose debut, Mojo, had premiered on the same stage nearly fifteen years before. Unearthing the mythic roots of contemporary English life, and featuring Mark Rylance in an indelible central performance as Johnny 'Rooster' Byron, the play transferred to the West End and then to Broadway, before returning to the West End in 2011.
