Here's what the critics had to say last time around:
‘An instant, modern classic. Mark Rylance gives one of the
greatest stage performances I have ever witnessed’
The Daily Telegraph
‘Jerusalem, beautifully directed by Rickson, proves to be even better than its ecstatic publicity suggests…. The cast are uniformly superb but Rylance is in a league of his own.’
The Independent
‘Refreshing, humane, touching and wickedly funny’
Evening Standard
‘A hilarious, enchanting, affecting evening. Rylance, the most exciting stage actor of his generation, playing one of the juiciest roles in living memory’

‘This play, this production, this performance are sensational’
