Full casting has been announced for the return of Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, playing a strictly limited 16-week season at the Apollo Theatre, with performances starting on 16 April.

Producer Sonia Friedman has announced that joining the previously announced Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook, who are reprising their celebrated roles as Johnny “Rooster” Byron and Ginger respectively in Ian Rickson’s production, are Kemi Awoderu (Pea), Alan David (The Professor), Shane David-Joseph (Mr Parsons), Gerard Horan (Wesley), Ed Kear (Davey), Charlotte O’Leary (Tanya), Indra Ové (Dawn), Jack Riddiford (Lee), Barry Sloane (Troy Whitworth), Niky Wardley (Linda Fawcett) and Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Phaedra). Kobe Champion-Norville, Jesse Manzi and Matteo Philbert will share the role of Marky and joining as understudies are Abigail Green, Amanda Gordon, Callum Sheridan-Lee, Greg Snowden and Anthony Taylor. Final casting will be announced at a later date.

The original creative team will return for this 2022 production – designer ULTZ, lighting designer Mimi Jordan Sherin, composer Stephen Warbeck, and sound designer Ian Dickinson for Autograph.

On St George’s Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron is a wanted man. The Council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants his dad to take him to the fair, Troy Whitworth wants to wreak his revenge and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
