MOJO, by Jez Butterworth
Performance Dates :
Tuesday 9th - Saturday 13th March at 7.45 p.m.
Matinee on 13th March at 3 p.m. This production will be performed at the Bridewell Theatre, Bride Lane, off Fleet Street.
Set in gangland Soho in 1958, Mojo centres round a group of small time gangsters trying to make it big in London’s clubland. We open with the double act of Sweets and Potts talking about a ‘deal’ they’ve set up and sit waiting for their lives to change. Skinny, the club’s dogsbody, arrives on the scene complaining of his treatment by Baby, the owner’s son. Mickey, the assistant manager brings devastating news, the characters subsequently hole up in the club to await their fate and a battle for power ensues.
Jez Butterworth’s stunning debut hurls us into 1958 gangland Soho. Brutal, with fast and at
times hilarious dialogue, this has been described as ‘when Harold Pinter meets Quentin
Tarantino’. It's by turns dark, violent and disturbing.
The cast is :
Silver Johnny : Sam South
Sweets : Bryan Fegan
Potts : Robin Hodges
Skinny : Maxim Moya-Thompson
Baby : Cameron Robertson
Mickey : Jacob Trenerry

Sam South's first role with the Tower was a hedgehog in The
Wind in the Willows. He then played Jekyll's nephew in Jekyll and Hyde. At
school he has workshopped Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Portia in The
Merchant of Venice. Mojo is his third Tower show, and he is looking forward to
playing someone his own age, sex and species!

Bryan Fegan studied acting with Cat Clancy at City Academy and has recently
been involved in the TNT show for Channel 4 and played Robert Sideway in a production of scenes from
Our Country's Good hails from Gravesend in Kent and was the lead vocalist/guitarist in a band
that had mild success touring the country before he decided to focus solely on acting. He joined the Tower
in December and Mojo will be his debut play with the Company. As his grandfather sadly
passed away in January during rehearsals, Bryan's performance in the show will be dedicated to him.

In the three years since joining the Tower Theatre Company, Cameron Robertson
has appeared as Joey in The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Charlie in Stones in His Pockets,
Simon Bliss in Hay Fever and Wardell in Sordid Lives. These parts required the
portrayal of a terrorist, a cheeky chappy, a spoiled brat and a bar-tender - all good preparation for the various
facets of Baby in Mojo. Cameron left his native Gloucestershire to enjoy the delights of Hackney and
now lives in Stoke Newington.

Jacob Trenerry trained at The Poor School and City Lit. His theatre work has
ranged from Cold Comfort Farm to The Insect Play, Twelfth Night for the Chesil
Theatre in Winchester, Much Ado About Nothing at Barons Court Theatre and Blythe Spirit at City Lit.
His short film appearances include Awake for the Actors Centre film lab. Jacob also belongs to
Models Plus modelling agency, is an accomplished horse rider and competition-standard three-day-eventer,
a tournament-rated tennis player and ran the London Marathon in 2006 for the charity 'Scope'.
He was born in Southampton and now lives in North London.

Robin Hodges has been acting with the Tower since early 2007.
His credits
include Death of a Salesman, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Barefoot in the Park, and Dangerous
Corner. He lives in Bethnal Green with his partner, Jude. A true method actor, Robin prepared for the role of
Sidney Potts by locking himself in a nightclub basement for a week, with only a carrier bag full of amphetamines
and a stale Victoria sponge cake for company.

A graduate from the University of Manchester studying International
Management with French, Maxim Thompson has been involved in plays from an early age
including Oliver, The Wizard of Oz and Bugsy Malone. He recently decided to renew his passion for theatre by joining both the Tower company and the Lost youth theatre company. He is also in the process of auditioning for drama schools, namely LAMDA, Guildhall and Bristol Old Vic.
