A comic, contemporary vision of life in England�s green and pleasant land, from the author of Mojo

On St George's Day, the morning of the local country fair, Johnny 'Rooster' Byron, local waster and Lord of Misrule, is a wanted man

The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants to be taken to the fair, a vengeful father wants to give him a serious kicking, and a motley crew of mates wants his ample supply of drugs and alcohol

"Unarguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century" ~ Guardian

" ... tender, touching, and blessed with both a ribald humour and a haunting sense of the mystery of things ... one of the must-see events of the summer' ~ Telegraph

"Jez Butterworth's gorgeous, expansive new play keeps coming at its audience in unpredictable gusts, rolling from comic to furious, from winsome to bawdy" ~ Observer

" ... storming ... restores one's faith in the power of theatre to make a really beautiful noise and on a scale that is both epic and potentially popular" ~ Independent
