| I was not impressed by the qualities of either THE RIVER or JERUSALEM. I thought Butterworth had difficulty writing more than one in depth character in both those plays. If THE FERRYMAN has a cast of 30 - I can only hope he manages to give the audience a number of dramatically interesting personalities. | |

| What a peculiar appraisal of JERUSALEM, which is a genuine English masterpiece and infinitely richer than THE FERRYMAN. And, ,y god, has at least a half dozen characters of surpassing richness, starting with Johnny. My advice: save your money and steer clear of this one. You'll make us all happy. | |

| I loved Jerusalem, and saw it several times. Maybe it was just because of Mark Rylance. I hope The Ferryman has a good cast. | |

| I saw it a few weeks ago -with its third cast- and I would say there isn't the star part that stands out the way Rooster Byron does in JERUSALEM. I cannot remember the name of the actor who played the father of the very large family- it was Paddy Considine originally- but he was good, just not dominant over his castmates. The performances that stayed with me the most were Sîan Thomas as Aunt Pat and the actress playing her sister Aunt Meg Far Away. Apologies if I am getting names mixed up. I'm surprised it's getting a transfer. I thought it would be too big a cast for Broadway. Unless they have a major name playing the father? I worry that any names would overbalance the play itself, which is more of a slow burn than JERUSALEM. |

| I also loved Jerusalem... but was lukewarm on The River. It just wasn't in the same league. | |

| The London production was stellar. It’s a family drama of the highest order. I can’t imsgine it with an American cast though. | |
