Casting: Jerusalem

17 Feb 24

It’s St. George’s Day and the morning of the local county fair. The May Queen is missing, the villagers are nursing their collective hangovers, and all are immersed in the world of the man and the myth, Johnny “Rooster” Byron. Apart from his cohort of hangers on, the council want to evict him, others want revenge, and his son just wants to be taken to the fair.

We had a great turn out for the casting call for Jerusalem and thanks to everyone who came along. We have gathered a right old rabble of friends, outcasts, leeches and undesirables for our cast - just as the text demands. I mean look at them... The cast look forward to seeing you at the Flintock Fair in April and May. We can't promise a healing experience or a massage tent but there will be plenty of drama and laughs. I wonder which one of these is the best Welly Wanger...?
