On the London Stage - Writer Raises Bar With Daring ‘Jerusalem’

NYTimes.com: "Too many new plays these days are possessed of limited aspirations, scaling back our expectations because of an inability to dare. So the first thing to say about Jez Butterworth’s extraordinary “Jerusalem,” the Royal Court Theatre premiere (through Aug. 22) that looks set to enter the culture as some kind of theatrical benchmark, is that it isn’t afraid to make a big noise. And that’s before one gets to the relentless drumming that brings an alternately hilarious and scalding play to the climactic boil."
