Event

Mojo By Jez Butterworth

Join ITSAZOO Productions as we time-warp to a bygone era in Mojo, our latest immersive, site-specific experience. Taking place at Vancouver's historic Russian Hall, ITSAZOO will convert the venue to replicate the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of a seedy nightclub in 1950's Soho, London. Set during the golden era of rock n' roll, Jez Butterworth's award winning play has been described as "Waiting for Godot meets Reservoir Dogs" and won the Lawrence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.

It's 1958. Rock n' Roll is taking the world by storm. In the sequin-bedazzled confines of Ezra's Atlantic Nightclub, five London low-lifes are ready to ride to the top of the charts on the coattails of resident heartthrob, Silver Johnny. He's got the looks. He's got the moves. Only problem is: he's disappeared. A local mob boss, with a penchant for young boys, has taken an interest in Johnny. And, when Ezra turns up freshly murdered, the gang board themselves up in their beloved club and hope to survive the night. But in a world where style reigns supreme, image is everything, and everyone speaks in code, will they survive each other?

Recently hailed by the Westender as "the young masters of site specific theatre", ITSAZOO promises an intimate, fly-on-the-wall, 360-degree experience using the entire building as our playground. This is a licensed event and Saturday nights will feature a post-show 50's dance party with a live DJ! Experience the fierce, thrilling, and hilarious world of Mojo.

PLEASE NOTE: Wednesday, August 8 and August 15 are Pay What You Can Performances with tickets only available for cash at the door. There is a limited audience capacity of 60 people per night so we can not guarantee that tickets will be available at the door.
