mojo finished a year ago today

[mojotheplay]

It's almost 1 year ago that Mojo ended, almost one year ago we gave the boys our "Last curtain call" book with our favourite memories from the journey. On 08/02 it will be one year since the last performance. If you post your favourite picture, favourite line from the play, favourite review in the tag "mojotheplay", this blog will reblog some of them to remember how much fun we had with Mojo.

Exactly 1 year ago, I (Eef) started this blog. Exactly 1 year ago, Mojo premiered in the Harold Pinter Theatre.

This whole play was a special journey with a lot of feelings, friends and searching around on the internet. We laughed, we cried, but we had a lot of fun.

I know we promised to keep you up-to-date with what all the boys are doing, but we've been busy ourselves and it's really difficult to keep track with al of them.

I just want to thank all of you, especially Mara (childliketendencies) for helping me out, the boys, the crew in Harold Pinter, the friends I made from this journey.

A year later and the memories are still so vivid, I loved every single second I spent on this blog.

Thank you guys.

Did these nails a bit back, nothing says back to school like insults and blood.  

I’d been meaning to do some ‘Mojo’ nails and thought, no time like the present!  I mean is there really a right time for ‘Mojo’?  I did a kind of minimalist Skinny Luke outfit and then a few lines.  A bit of foreshadowing going on in this scene and then well, the end.  So, I kind of mashed that up.  Keeping it family friendly but you know what it says.  It was part of the play!

Hello there! I just saw you received a question regarding the Mojo recordings. I have been in contact with the V&A and they don't own the recordings of Mojo's revival (only the version at the Royal Court from 1995). I contacted Mojo's producers (Sonia Friedman) who own the recording, but said it's for their private archive and not to be viewed by the public. Nor are there any plans for a DVD release, unfortunately. :(

Thank you for the update! And what sad news this is!!!

This is too bad - when they made the recording it was said to be for the V&A so I'd hoped to see it there again. But if they only recorded it for their private archive....

Wish they could be convinced to publish it some day, after all.

Hay! I have a question. Maybe you know where I see "Mojo"?

I am sorry but there is no way to see Mojo, unless you plan to travel to London and visit the Victoria & Albert Archives, since a recording of the play was made for the archive there. No other video recording of it exists, to our knowledge.

Colin Morgan took the time to write a message thanking his fans for the gifts they offered him for his birthday. So lovely!

Mojo (Harold Pinter Theatre, 12 November 2013)

Mojo was all set up to be a sold out West End succes with its all star cast. I mean, how can a show with Ben Whishaw and Rupert Grint and Colin Morgan and Brendan Coyle AND Daniel Mays be anything other than electric?  

In that aspect Mojo, a play about a business deal gone wrong in the seedy Soho of the 1950s, did not disappoint. The energy and the moody atmosphere brought on by the interaction between these actors was very engaging. Ben Whishaw - obviously - was mesmerising as Baby, the club-owner’s abused son, while Daniel Mays came very close to stealing the show in his great comic double act with Rupert Grint. The latter, by the way, did quite alright for his West End debut and didn’t fall short among the other more seasoned actors, including Brendan Coyle, who plays a decidedly nastier character than honourable mister Bates from Downton Abbey. Colin Morgan’s character was a bit of an odd ball, and he looked a bit quirky on stage at first but then definitely made up for that in his last, incredibly arresting scene.

The play itself was sultry, dark (those two bins!) and always unexpected. However, I was a bit disappointed with the overall plot. I think I had expected more from Jez -the guy who wrote Jerusalem- Butterworth but all in all I quite liked this production, if only for the truly talented ensemble.

Rupert Grint interview: The eagle has landed for Ron Weasley

…He also possesses a dry sense of humour. At one point, he says that what he particularly enjoyed about making his West End debut in the well-regarded revival of Mojo last year was the fact that, “anything could happen… There is one part of the play where I’m dry-wretching, and in reaction to that one night someone was sick in the front row. I know that everyone’s a critic these days, but I can assure you that it wasn’t a reviewer having an extreme response to the play!”

…

LOL Oh Rupert I love you !

HARRY POTTER Star Rupert Grint to Make Broadway Debut in Terrence McNally's IT'S ONLY A PLAY

According to Entertainment weekly, Harry Potter veteran Rupert Grint will soon make his Broadway debut in Terrence McNally's next Broadway comedy- It's Only a Play. Grint will play 'Frank Finger', a 'wunderkind director of a new play by an anxious writer.' He made his stage debut earlier this year in the West End production of Jez Butterworth's Mojo.

Tom Rhys Harries is reminiscing about his New Year’s Eve celebrations.

He welcomed in 2014 in London with a group of friends which just happened to include Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, Brideshead Revisited actor Ben Whishaw and Daniel Mays, who recently played Ronnie Biggs.

At the time they were all appearing together at the Harold Pinter Theatre in the critically-acclaimed drama Mojo. They had just a few hours off between their performance on New Year’s Eve and their first show of 2014. So what exactly did they get up to?

“I can’t say!” he laughs. “But we had an amazing view and there were fireworks.”

Just 12 months earlier, the Cardiff-born actor was being named as ‘one to watch’ by Box Office but now he’s working with some of the biggest names in the industry and seems perfectly at ease with it.

He was in London, where he now lives, when I heard he had landed the role of Silver Johnny.

“I was really excited to have the opportunity to work with the director Ian Rickson,” he says of the Olivier Award-nominee who once ran London’s Royal Court Theatre.

“I knew the boys were attached to the play and I wanted to do more theatre.”

He describes Grint as “a great boy”.

“It was his first play,” he says of Mojo. “His feet were so firmly planted on the ground. It must be difficult for someone who’s not been out of the spotlight. He’s a great actor. We were working with people like Ben Wishaw and Daniel Mays who are veterans so if he didn’t have any metal it would have shown immediately but he won the Best Newcomer Award (at the WhatsOnStage Awards).”
