Theater Talk: "Jerusalem" Playwright Jez Butterworth and Tony-winning Best Actor, Mark Rylance

[@markhigh6271]

I managed to see Sir Mark Rylance last Sunday in Jerusalem. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it. His performance was beyond words, particularly the last act. A week later I am still lost for words. Greatest actor of all time.

[@jas.jadama5186]

I watched him in Jerusalem two months ago and I still can't stop thinking about his performance. His performance was not human!!!

[@marlonblade007]

Saw it today. last performance of current run.

[@marlonblade007]

@@markhigh6271 Great. Clearly I was surrounded people who'd seen it many times. Jez Butterworth was there as well as it was the last show of the run. Rylance said it'd be back.

[@jas.jadama5186]

@@marlonblade007 Do you have any footage of Mark's speech at the end? I heard it was very emotional. I would love to see it if you do!

The difference between artists and idiots is a thin one, but the difference is on evident display here. My God, those "critics" are tools.

Gorgeous Mr R.

Great interview, love these guys~~the play was so good

[@thomassimmons1950]

Rylance is bloody saint mate. Blake Lives!

[@cowboynyc]

As an American, I found the first act completely incomprehensible. I'm very glad I came back after the intermission. Once the plot kicked in, the play was wonderful.

[@TSCStag]

the divide between british and american is pretty clear here.

[@ROUBA33]

The best Actor in the world!

Hilarious, they bleeped Rooster saying "arse" but not cunts

[@karenjohnson2207]

[@Shazbut01]

They bleep the word "arse" but not "cunt"? Hilarious

[@lebadass]

Brilliant 🏆 😂

[@jembartlett]

I love Mark's comment about doctors being drug dealers of a different sort. Wise man. So full of life. Runs rings around the so-called 'intellectuals' in our midst!

[@richrosecomedy]

i like that mark has a drum dangling from his ear...

[@ROUBA33]

thanks for sharing this :)

[@dawidjagusiak]

Does anyone know if there's a way to watch Jerusalem other than through National Video Archive of Performance?

[@Aannan]

OMG you're right! Well spotted.

[@thomaskirkpatrick1134]

Smartest Actor Ever!

[@dianewheeler152]

well done micky doo finnaly a play about you,at last pmsl xx love you always mickyx

[@edbarrett5995]

A stunning performance. I may be wrong, but my understanding is that the 'dark satanic mills' Blake was referring to were actually churches.

[@Wealllovechicken]

I thought the same thing aha@Shazbut01

[@Teezer44]

Interesting. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you have received some sort of an education where you will have had to learn by studying intensely the novels/poems/plays of selected artists. So, my question is, if all the artists you learnt from are 'idiots', where on earth does that lead you?

Sciencephobia again 😞Nostalgia for bloody rituals, sympathy to drugs and violence - ok, it was tolerable, but not blaming science...
