Crude and boring, Oct 29, 2011

reviewer: Anonymous from London

This play appeals to a specialist audience - one who has no
problem with the c and f words being used in almost every
sentence. Brilliant acting from the lead but a very thin story line
and same boring set used throughout. Added to that being
shown in a theatre which was like a sauna and the seats in the
Upper Circle having extremely poor visibility even for full price
tickets made for a very disappointing experience.

Brilliant, Feb 11, 2010

reviewer: Simon from Sittingbourne

Saw Jerusalem last week and it was the best play I have ever seen, just fantastic. Rylance is brilliant in the lead role, but the rest of the cast are equally oustanding. Haven't laughed that much in a long long time. Well done.

Apollo Theatre lets down play and cast, Nov 16, 2011

reviewer: Sue besser from London, England

What a fantastic play. My husband and I wonder how Mark Rylance can still speak and stand after his performance as Johnny every night. That said, we had front row Dress Circle seats which were woeful and a disgrace.The seats were old and hard; to see the front of the stage was impossible without leaning forward, and
the acoustics were grim. We stood at the BACK of the Dress Circle, and were able to hear far better ! Daylight robbery. Truly a betrayal of a wonderful play with wonderful actors.

Jerusalem at the Apollo, Apr 04, 2010

reviewer: Esther Morris from UK

The play is well crafted and Mark Rylance gives a powerful performance. It slowed down in pace towards the end and I felt it could have done with a bit of editing to reduce the length and have only one interval. My huband and I sat in seats D6 and D 7 in the Upper Circle and it was almost impossible to see the action at the front of the stage. Also the seats are very close together. I expect more for tickets that cost almost £40 each.
