*FINAL TWO PERFORMANCES OF ENSEMBLE'S * *JERUSALEM* *by JEZ BUTTERWORTH directed by IAN WOLFGANG HINZ. * *Selections for Cleveland Plain Dealer Review. (Click Quoted Text to read entire review).* "Odd as it is, the work of English poet and mystic William Blake has inspired two of the funniest, most challenging plays to hit the boards in Cleveland in years...The first was a flawless production of "There Is a Happiness That Morning Is" at Cleveland Public Theatre in 2013, a cerebral comedy by Chicago playwright Mickle Maher that concerned the mea culpa of two Blake scholars following an open-air lovemaking session on the lawn of their bucolic East Coast campus. The second is "Jerusalem" by British playwright Jez Butterworth, playing its last weekend this Friday and Saturday at Ensemble Theatre." <http://www.cleveland.com/onstage/index.ssf/2016/05/ensemble_theatres_jerusalem_is.html> "Hinz dives headlong into the fracas and emerges unscathed, delivering a creation bristling with mystery, manic joy and life." <http://www.cleveland.com/onstage/index.ssf/2016/05/ensemble_theatres_jerusalem_is.html> "Johnny "Rooster" Byron, played by a mesmeric Mitch Rose.. Rose, his voice a deep rasp, his eyes often touched with a hint of madness, perfectly captures Rooster's irresistible charisma... <http://www.cleveland.com/onstage/index.ssf/2016/05/ensemble_theatres_jerusalem_is.html> -*Andrea Simakis, Cleveland Plain Dealer* "Dear Celeste, I wanted to write to let you know how absolutely mesmerized I was by the production of JERUSALEM that I saw yesterday. It took my breath away. The acting was uniformly outstanding-each character was depicted with such charisma and intelligence, and the direction was SUPERB! PLEASE keep producing challenging, intriguing, magnificent plays like this one. Ensemble Theatre consistently offers the best theatre in Cleveland." *-Audience Member May 8th. * *Only TWO more shows before Rooster's Wood disappears. * *This Friday* at *8pm.* *Benefit Performance Saturday* at *5pm. * *Music Food and Drinks after the show and 2016-17 Season **Announcement! * For tickets call *216.321.2930 <216.321.2930>.* Email us at *tickets@ensemble-theatre.org <tickets@ensemble-theatre.org>.* Click *HERE <https://ensemble-theatre.tixato.com/buy/jerusalem>* to purchase tickets online! *SPECIAL BENEFIT PERFORMANCE ON MAY 21st!* Click *HERE <http://www.ensembletheatrecle.org/benefit/>* for more information on our BENEFIT PERFORMANCE *Jerusalem Performance , Food, Prizes, Music from the Mike Petrone Band, and be the first to hear our AMAZING 16-17 Season! * *Support the Arts.
