Edgy rock 'n' roll thriller set amid the frenzy of 1950’s gangland, London. Power struggles, a pea-shooter, a navy cutlass, diet pills, a jukebox and a couple of dead bodies.

It's 1958 and Soho's underworld is rife with drugs, violence and gangsters.

Tensions peak inside 'The Atlantic Club' on London's Tin Pan Alley when club owner, Ezra and his young protégé, local teen star, Silver Johnny both go missing. Employees at the club suspect not is all as it seems and that gangland rivalry might well be at play – desperate times, call for desperate measures.

Venture deep into London’s fledgling rock 'n' roll club scene in this gripping, brutal and fast-paced modern classic.

Jez Butterworth's Olivier award-winning dark comedy comes to LOST Theatre, Stockwell, directed by James Thacker.

The production sees up-and-coming director, James Thacker take to the LOST stage once again following his directorial debut in May 2015, he explains: "Reviving Mojo now seems poignant. The current demise of Soho and the sweeping away of Tin Pan Alley provides an ideal time to look back at its auspicious beginnings and the role it played in shaping the modern teenager. We must remind ourselves that only in these dark, dingy places can youth culture truly emerge."
