On St. George’s Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny “Rooster” Byron, local waster and modern day Pied Piper, welcomes you to his alcoholic bucolic frolic at his trailer in the Wiltshire woods. On the set list are whizz, wangers, and tasty beats; a motley band of characters are after his gypsy blood. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants to be taken to the fair, a father wants to give him a serious kicking, and a beloved cohort of spongers want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
A state-of-the-nation comedy on contemporary rural life, ‘Jerusalem’ gives the proverbial finger to England’s green and pleasant land.
Jerusalem opened on the 12th March 2014 and ran daily until 15th March in the Union Concert Hall.
