Jerusalem confirms transfer to Apollo from 28 Jan

It has been confirmed that Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem, which received terrific notices from the popular press when it received its world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre 10 Jul to 22 Aug 2009, will transfer to the West End's Apollo Theatre, opening 10 Feb 2010, following previews from 28 Jan - booking to 24 April 2010.

Jerusalem is a comic, contemporary vision of life in our green and pleasant land. On St George's Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron, local waster and modern day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his children want their dad to take them 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.
