Briefing Notes: Perhaps the greatest living stage actor. His portrayal of Rooster Byron in Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem earned him global awards and plaudits from the critics. However, it is the acclaim garnered from audience members who never usually frequented the theatre that has marked him out as a true great. Rylance was instrumental in the success of the new Globe Theatre, which had been ear marked as a certain 'flop' by the establishment at its naissance. If Jerusalem ever plays again to audiences, with Rylance in the lead role, make sure you come by a ticket, it is now one of those 'amazements' that you should watch before you move on.
