Mojo

Written by Jez Butterworth
Directed by Lachlan Houen
Presented by Red Herring Productions & ACT Hub

A brutally funny journey through the seedy, amphetamine-fuelled London rock scene of the 1950s follows a gang of would-be power-players who, seduced by the promise of fame and fortune, battle for control of hot teen singing idol, Silver Johnny.

A tightly-wound thriller which examines with grim humour the dark underside of the halcyon days of rock ‘n’ roll. The story starts with the discovery of a jealous nightclub owner’s body sawn in half… and then things start to get sticky.

Alternately hilarious and terrifying, this is the play that won Butterworth an Olivier Award and kickstarted a new wave of British crime genre pieces including Guy Ritchie’s popular flick Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels .
