Progress Youth Theatre

Mojo is the first play by Jez Butterworth, world renowned for smash hit Jerusalem. This, his first effort took the West End by storm in 1995.

Set in a room under the infamous Atlantic Club in Soho 1958, the underling boys who work in the club are faced with a panic situation when club owner Ezra refuses to sell his prized asset Silver Jonny, a rising Rock 'n' roll star to gangster rival Sam Ross. Ezra is returned to the club in two separate dustbins, sparking a power struggle for control between ambitious Mickey and Ezra's son Baby.

As a crowd gathers outside the club expecting it to open for business, the boys find themselves under siege with only a rusty cutlass and an ancient pistol for defence.

Tempers fray and the veneer of adopted American cool slips as catastophe looms for all at the club.

The dialogue fizzes like a doodlebug in this fast paced black comedy as the boys try to work out what to do before it's too late...
