When a play is advertised as 'an all-star cast' you know that either it's going to be incredible and hence why so many stars have signed up, or incredibly poor and the stars are to draw in crowds. Unfortunately it would appear to be the latter in this case.
The play follows a series of events between a small number of characters who work at a club.Advertised as a comedy, more of the laughs come from bizarre statements rather than something actually being funny and I just felt very confused as to what the point of a lot of the scenes were, and as for the 'twists' in the plot, I saw every single one of them coming and wanted so badly for something unexpected to happen but alas it was not to be. That says something considering I usually don't see twists coming at all when everyone else does.
Regardless of the story, I found that all the cast acted the characters incredibly well and each of them gave an utterly convincing performance well deserving of the standing ovation at the end.
The sets were incredibly simple yet effective and the atmosphere was perfect, I just wish that I had sat further back as the fumes from the cigarettes actually gave me a headache which combined with the shouting and breaking furniture left me looking forward to the interval to take paracetamol.
Whilst interesting to witness, I doubt I'd watch Mojo again nor recommend it for the story, though i would happily recommend the show purely for stunning acting.
