Sinopse

A comic, contemporary vision of life in England's green and pleasant land. Winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best Play, and the Critics Circle and Whatsonstage.com Awards for Best New Play.
On St George's Day, the morning of the local country fair, Johnny 'Rooster' Byron, local waster and Lord of Misrule, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants to be taken to the fair, a vengeful father wants to give him a serious kicking, and a motley crew of mates wants his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
Jerusalem premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2009, directed by Ian Rickson and starring Mark Rylance in an astonishing performance as Johnny Byron. It transferred to the West End in 2010.
'Unarguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century' Guardian
'Tender, touching, and blessed with both a ribald humour and a haunting sense of the mystery of things... one of the must-see events of the summer' Telegraph
'Jez Butterworth's gorgeous, expansive new play keeps coming at its audience in unpredictable gusts, rolling from comic to furious, from winsome to bawdy' Observer
'Storming... restores one's faith in the power of theatre' Independent
'Show of the year'Time Out

    The second month adds tiny dashes of colour.  Nature begins to gently rouse herself for the coming season.  Winter begins to withdraw its raw and elemental fingers in soft remembered surrender to the natural cycle that welcomes Spring.  
    Our classic poets, in 50 poems of inky verse, reveal all manner of events, sights and sounds. Among their ranks are Longfellow, Coleridge, Dickinson, Teasdale, Clare and a wealth of many others, who, with their thoughts and desires express the world in lines of revelation.

    Autumn.The sky streaked with silk parachutes or by tears. A sparkling epidemic.
     
    think if the world truly tore in half it would seep blue.
     
    
     
    New Theatre stages a lively foray into spaces geographical and utopian that calls into question the process and nature of meaning. Steudel’s coolly cerebral ‘Birch’ sequence about Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s later life muses on power and identity, but is balanced by an intimate autobiographical long poem that gives quieter, equally surprising shorter pieces room to spike and bloom in this assured debut.

    Thin Black Road 
    There’s a thin black road 
    I have traveled many times. 
    It leads to peace 
    In so many ways. 
    It’s kind of hard to describe 
    For the road’s oft unclear. 
    It unfolds to me 
    Like a lovely gift 
    One word at a time. 
    Then, music fills in the gaps, 
    Making worries fade away, 
    As unexplainable peace pours in. 
    There’s a thin black road 
    It leads me to peace. 
    When good or ill tidings come 
    To threaten my equilibrium, 
    I will travel that road 
    And return to peaceful calm. 
    *** 
    This is the first inspirational Christian poetry collection. It’s followed by Just Like You and My Champion. The combination book, Made to Praise, contains all three collections.
