JERUSALEM to Conclude Ensemble Theatre's 2015-16 Season

Ensemble Theatre concludes its 2015-16 season with JERUSALEM by Jez Butterworth, directed by Ian Wolfgang Hinz.

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.

With an awesome cast of Cleveland actors: Katya Yaker as Phaedra, Valerie Young as Ms Fawcett, August Scarapelli as Mr Parsons, Mitch Rose as Johnny "Rooster" Byron, James Rankin as Ginger, Dana Hart* as Professor, Kyle Huff as Lee, Michael Johnson as Davey, Becca Moseley as Pea, Leah Smith as Tanya, David Vegh* as Wesley, Brittni Shambaugh Addison as Dawn, Miles Pierce as Marky, Whit Lowell as Troy Whitworth, and Ravers and more. * (Appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association)

On the production team are: Eva Nel Brettrager - Production Stage Manager; Ian Wolfgang Hinz - Director; Kayla Davis - Assistant Director; Walter Boswell - Set Design; Meg Parish - Costumes; Stephen Vasse-Hansell - Technical Director; and Steven Barton - Lighting Design.
