Review:
This rude comedy provided one of the most brilliant debuts of a new British playwright in the 1990s. Jez Butterworth seizes his place as latest and possibly brashest of the "word-jockey" playwrights--folks like David Mamet and Eric Overmyer who use slang and standard English language with olympic virtuosity. This brutally comic tale drags audiences by the ear through the chaotic backstages of British rock in the pre-Beatles late 1950s. The dialogue is muscular, shocking, and constantly surprising.
About the Author:
Jez Butterworth's playwriting debut, Mojo, was staged at the Royal Court in 1995, and was acclaimed as 'one of the most dazzling Royal Court main stage debuts in years' (Time Out). Since then his plays have been premiered at the Royal Court, at the Almeida Theatre and at the Atlantic Theater in New York. Jerusalem ran for two hit seasons in the West End, as well as on Broadway. His films include Birthday Girl, Fair Game and an adaptation of Mojo.
