Jez Butterworth is in the front rank of English playwrights. His Shameless-esque romp through one day in the life of a waster as he is pursued by his children, by council eviction officers, by angry drug dealers and greedy, druggy mates. It's St George's Day and the fair is in town. But where is Johnny?

This play first appeared in 2009 at the Royal Court where it was hailed as something special, playing to packed houses every night and praised to the stars by audiences and critics alike. It's since been in the West End, on Broadway and is now back at The Apollo.

An impressive cast including Mark Rylance (The Government Inspector, The Other Boleyn Girl) and Mackenzie Crook (The Office, Pirates of the Caribbean) have stayed with the show for this hotly anticipated and all-too brief run.

A twisted satirical view of England's green and pleasant lands is assured. You can also expect utterly convincing and engaging characters, sharp dialogue and a snapshot of English culture indelibly printed on your memory.

Jerusalem is one of Spoonfed's very best of October events. You can also read a preview here.
