START: School is a lie. In a play about English identity, Byrons position as a totem of age-old Englishness amid commercial patriotism and sham ideals makes it easy for the audience to be firmly on his side, representing, as he does, an idea that perhaps never existed, but which we want to have existed.

The idea that he was conceived without intercourse, and born with a bullet clenched between his teeth, serves to add to his mystique, not because it is in any way believable (and indeed it is strikingly similar to a Tom Waits monologue, humorously suggesting he is mocking his young companions navet) but because its theme, the heroic, is something we can easily and approvingly associate with Byron, even though it is not a moral heroism. It is clear that his onlookers idolise him, and wish to be him, most notably Ginger. And there Butterworth finds his crux: Roosters version of Jerusalem is far different than that of the other residents of the fictional town of Flintock, and both sides are waging battles of will and worse to fight for their visions.
