On St. George’s Day, a small village in England prepares for its annual fair–but the May Queen is missing, and local legend/town ne’er-do-well Johnny “Rooster” Byron is fighting back against his impending eviction from the nearby woods as town officials prepare to welcome progress in the form of a new housing development.

Never before performed in Eugene, the Tony-nominated Jerusalem, by acclaimed playwright Jez Butterworth, is often cited as one of the finest plays of the 21st century to date. Join Capital T Theatre for this darkly comic and contemporary vision of rural life in England’s green and pleasant land, exploring themes of community on the fringes of society, and the power of myth-making,

Content Warning: This play features strong and coarse language and adult themes, including substance use.
