On St George's Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron, local waster and modern day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants his dad to take him to the fair, Troy Whitworth wants to give him a serious kicking and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue
Rylance seems to have garnered lavishly fulsom praise that the previous comic performers did not merely because his is enshrined in theatreland and has been "franked" with the luvvies' stamp. This doesn't make the performance any better or worse but the plaudits seem hysterical to connoisseurs of comedy who have seen similar performances in the sitcom or standup idiom.
