November 4 - 19, 2011: Mojo by Jez Butterworth

Silver Johnny is the new singing sensation in London, straight out of a low-life Soho clubland bar in 1958. His success could be the big break for two dead-end, pill-popping bar hands if they play their cards right. But
before they can dream what to do with all the money they'll make, the
owner turns up dead, Silver Johnny disappears, the second in command
takes over the bar and a power struggle ensues. Under siege in the club
and going through the uppers and downers filched from pocketbooks,
this band of losers must try to keep a lid on the precocious anger of
the dead owner's son, figure out who killed the boss, and survive the
weekend. Filled with the raw energy of early rock n' roll, Mojo is a
high-tension, high-speed menacing comedy in the Pinter tradition.
