See Jerusalem in London

Award-winning writer Jez Butterworth's latest offering is a funny and touching look at the modern dilemmas and preoccupations of contemporary life.

The action takes place on St George's Day. On the morning of the local country fair, local waster Jonny Byron faces a series of problems.

The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, Troy Whitworth wants to give him a kicking and his motley crew of mates are after his drugs and alcohol.

Meanwhile his children want their Dad to take them to the fair!
