JERUSALEM, a new play by Jez Butterworth and starring Tony and Olivier Award-winner Mark Rylance opened April 21 at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street), in a production directed by Ian Rickson. JERUSALEM originally opened at The Royal Court Theatre in July, 2009 with critics praising Jez Butterworth for his beautiful and comic elegy for a disappearing way of life in rural England and actor Mark Rylance, who was lauded as delivering one of the great stage performances of our time. The production played an extended sold out run at the Royal Court, before moving to the Apollo Theatre in the West End in January, 2010, where it received an unprecedented set of five-star reviews from 12 London newspapers.
JERUSALEM is pleased to announce a special giveaway for the show's daily rush tickets, sold every morning at 10:00 AM for the day's performance. The first two customers in line will win a 'Farewell Lee?' t-shirt, fashioned after the costume worn by Tony Award-winner John Gallagher Jr., in the critically acclaimed and award-winning production. The t-shirt is not commercially available.
JERUSALEM has extended its limited engagement on Broadway for an additional four weeks. The critically acclaimed, award-winning production will now run through August 21 at the Music Box Theatre (230 West 45th Street).
