Jez traces the play’s origins back to New Year’s Eve 2000, explains how it came to find its name and goes inside his writing process: what tends to come first, which scene he found most difficult to write and the unique rituals that shape his writing.

[upbeat music] Hey, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. I'm here with Jez Butterworth, who wrote Jerusalem. This is really exciting for me because it's quite different from our previous monthly reads. Today, we're going to have a play on the book club. Jez, we have so many questions for you from the Service Ninety-Five readers who love it as much as I do. Are you ready to jump in?
