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 Butterworth's writings
for stage and film and to identify how and why his work appeals so widely and profoundly.
It 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 at the edges of England:
where unpredictable outbursts of humour highlight the intensity of life, and characters
discover links between their haunting past and the uncertainties of the present, to
create a meaningful future. Supplemented by essays from James D. Balestrieri and Elisabeth
Angel-Perez, this is a clear and detailed source of reference for a new generation
of theatre audiences, practitioners and directors who wish to explore the work of
this seminal dramatist. --Provided by publisher
