From Common Players, in association with Exeter Northcott Theatre, a new production of Jez Butterworth’s critically acclaimed play, Jerusalem, will tour the WestCountry in May and June. The new production will be made in a new way which will involve local artists and communities and teach new skills to those involved.
First performed in 2009, Jerusalem became the Evening Standard’s Best Play of the Year and is an epic and heroic play about our great British need for a connection with the landscape and our roots; an underpinning theme of the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.
Exeter Phoenix has launched a brand new menu. New chef, Maia Moss, has created a delicious array of rustic dishes using traditional recipes from around the world fused with a unique contemporary twist.

Any book with the title "Jerusalem" is a challenge for both authors and readers, given the complexities, misrepresentations and confusing images inherent in that city. For the visitor, first impressions of Jerusalem, perhaps to do with the light or the architecture, give way to questions, about the different cultures and their histories, and then on to concerns about how these cultures mix (or rather, don't) particularly the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. And then beyond these concerns come others less obvious, but which surface from time to time.
