A slick and violent black comedy set in the Soho clubland of the 1950s. The hit debut play from the author of Jerusalem.
In the seedy gangster underworld of the rock'n'roll scene, club owners fight for control of Johnny Silver, the latest young sensation.
First premiered at the Royal Court in 1995, Jez Butterworth's play Mojo won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and earned Butterworth the George Devine Award and Evening Standard Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright.
This edition of Mojo was published alongside the play's 2013 revival in London's West End.
Jez Butterworth's plays have been premiered at the Royal Court, at the Almeida Theatre and at the Atlantic Theater in New York. His play Jerusalem, praised as 'unarguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century' (Guardian), ran for two hit seasons in the West End, as well as on Broadway. His films include Birthday Girl, Fair Game and an adaptation of Mojo.
