Paddy Considine gives a performance of power and finesse in his stage debut Johan Persson★★★★★This play by Jez Butterworth, who wrote the exceptional Jerusalem, broke records before a word was spoken on stage. It is the fastest selling production in Royal Court history, instantly earning a West End transfer. But then it is directed by Sam Mendes, latterly of James Bond fame, and stars Paddy Considine, making his stage debut. You would think it might be something special and you would be right. We hear the news, flickering in and out of the farmhouse kitchen in which the Carney family live, love, drink, dance.
