JERUSALEM is an award winning play that gets an Ensemble production which tries hard but simply doesn’t reach the performance level the script deserves. Unfortunately, the feeling of “who cares about these people and what happens to them,” permeates.  That’s not what the author intended.

“Jerusalem” is another in a line of socially reflective productions highlighting the downfall of civilization through an overwhelming hedonistic society that is standing toe to toe with the old guard who is there to resist the downward spiral of decadent change.  Depending on your point of view you will either love it or hate it.  No matter what, see it for the excellent performances and fascinating patter and word play.

While it doesn’t entirely succeed, due to a multiplicity of factors, there are some sparkling moments that are swept along on the sheer bravado of attempting the piece in the first place.

With 14 characters (plus a fish and a turtle) and running almost three hours, "Jerusalem" delights in its heft and size.
