Jez Butterworth is the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful new British dramatist of the 21st century: his acclaimed play "Jerusalem "has had extended runs in the West End and on Broadway. This book is the first to examine all of Butterworth's writings for stage and film and to identify how and why his work appeals so widely and profoundly. It contains interviews with those who have worked on Butterworth's plays in production, and examines the way that he weaves suspenseful stories of eccentric outsiders, whose adventures echo widespread contemporary social anxieties, and involve surprising expressions of both violence and generosity. This book reveals how Butterworth unearths the strange forms of wildness and defiance lurking in the depths and edges of England: where unpredictable outbursts of wry and bawdy humour highlight the poignant intensity of life; and characters discover links between their haunting but ominous past and the uncertainties of the present, to create a meaningful future. This is a clear, detailed primary source of reference for a new generation of theatre audiences, practitioners and directors who wish to explore the work of this seminal dramatist.
