An executive producer with Heliopolis Entertainment in Woodland Hills, California, David Nicksay oversees the preparation, production, and post-production of numerous films. In addition to his own work in the fine arts, David Nicksay enjoys attending live theater productions and counts Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth as one of his favorite plays.
A darkly comic play, Jerusalem tells the story of a mythic English hero named Johnny “Rooster” Byron. During the course of the play, Johnny tells stories, charms anyone he comes across, drinks heavily, and skirts the authorities. As both the most popular and least popular person in his quaint town, Johnny finds that many people want his attention. His son wants to spend the day with him, the police want to get him out of town, and his friends want to party.
From February 13, 2018, through February 24, 2018, the play returns to the stage at the Crowes Theatre in Toronto, Canada. Kim Coates, of FX’s Sons of Anarchy, returns to the stage after a nearly three-decade hiatus from live theater and plays Johnny. The two-week run of the three-hour show highlights Canada’s premiere of the production.
