| And I’m not in love with Rylance like others. I found Jerusalem to be long and tedious without a satisfying ending. I think the last 15 minutes of this play is lacking with its wrap up, but i really enjoyed the production overall with the candles and costumes and acting and story. I’ve seen a lot of plays that I can’t wait until they end and that didn’t happen here for me. | |

| I was absolutely spellbound by Jerusalem personally and loved the ending, I thought it was utterly mesmerizing and had real theatrical magic to it. Sure it was a big speech and swaying trees and wind if you want to be negative about it but for me it sent me out into the night with a real spring in my step. I think this was the best Rylance performance I have seen. I was warned off Farinelli and the King by someone I trust, they basically said it wouldn't be produced if the playwright wasn't his wife and they were stunned it was coming to Broadway they hated it so much. I might still see it because I am always engaged by Rylance but I am not expecting much form the play itself. |

| Agreed, JERUSALEM is a brilliant play. I actually thought the ending was more powerful in text than the production that I saw on Broadway. Not sure why. | |

| I have the script, and rereading it In September noted again the layering and density of the unities, setting, sylvan milieu and brevity of the glimpse into this man’s sphere. The allusions and woven in elements of pastoral England, the Arcadian revels and customs, are almost too much to absorb in real time in the theater. Much to be enjoyed on the page. | |

| I agree re Jerusalem. Farinelli does not, to me, have anything to hate. Go with the expectation it is not Shakespeare (the trappings are such that one could expect that) and I doubt you'll hate it, and I think you'll be pleasantly entertained. | |
