Why: *Jerusalem* by *Jez Butterworth *directed by *Ian Wolfgang Hinz*

 *"...that's the deepest level of the play... the desire to stay when we
know we have to go or the desire to go when we know we have to stay." -Mark
Rylance on "Jerusalem"*

*"Wishing to remain at a point where he has to move on to another state, I
think, is where the play lives." - Jez Butterworth*


Wiltshire, England. On St. George's Day, the morning of the local county
fair (deriving its sense of place & community from the annual carnival week
at Pewsey, Wiltshire) Johnny "Rooster" Byron, local waster & modern day
Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an
eviction notice, while his son, Marky, wants his dad to take him to the
fair, Troy Whitworth wants to give him a serious kicking and a motley crew
of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.  The play makes
frequent allusions to Blake's eponymous poem from which its title is
derived.

*Fridays & Saturdays* @ 8pm.  *Sundays* @2pm.
*April 29th-May21st.*
Main Stage Theatre. For Tickets: 216-321-2930 or www.ensembletheatrecle.org
