Jerusalem and other theatre gems 'are a cause for celebration'
A critic has recently rediscovered her love of London theatre and is urging others to do the same.
Thursday, 8 April 2010
British people have been urged to go out and watch a play if they have not done so recently by one critic.
Writing for the Times, Minnette Marrin said she has recently rediscovered her love for plays and musicals and now remembers why London theatre productions are so revered worldwide.
"British theatre is a national and international treasure … we have theatrical traditions and talents that are truly dazzling," she enthused.
Ms Marrin said one play she particularly enjoyed in the West End recently was Jerusalem, written by Jez Butterworth.
Critically acclaimed and almost universally enjoyed by audiences, this is billed as a darkly funny, contemporary view of life in the green and pleasant land of England and stars Mackenzie Crook and Mark Rylance.
"It is truly remarkable. Anyone who has the chance should go and see it," urged Ms Marrin.
Jerusalem is booking at the Apollo Theatre until April 24th 2010.
