About the Production

The Company Theatre's production of Jerusalem in 2018, starring Kim Coates (Bad Blood, Sons of Anarchy) was an award-winning success. Johnny 'Rooster' Byron, local waster and modern-day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council want to evict him; his son wants him to take him to the fair; Troy Whitworth wants to give him a serious kicking; and the villagers want to celebrate St George's Day with a dance around his maypole. But Rooster has other plans.
