Overview
Mojo, staged in 1995 but set in the Soho clubland of 1958, superbly captures the atmosphere of the infant British rock and roll scene where seedy low-lifers hustle for the big timeā (Daily Telegraph). It is Beckett on speedā (Observer) by a dramatist of obvious talent and terrific promiseā (The Times).
The Night Heron (2002) is set in Cambridgeshire Fens amongst assorted oddballs, birdwatchers and the local constabulary. Itās funny, itās sad, itās haunting and it is also strangely beautiful. Above all, it is quite unlike anything youāve ever seen beforeā (Daily Telegraph).
In The Winterling (2006) a gangland fugitive is visited by two associates from the city who have other things on their mind than a jolly reunion. The dialogue is testosterone taut, a sense of menace invades every conversation and as tales of torture and treachery unfold, the black comedy never missesā (Time Out).
The housing estate in Parlour Song (2008) is a place of illicit desire and painful memories, of bad dreams and mysterious disappearances a play that combines the comic, the erotic and the downright disconcerting with superb panacheā (Daily Telegraph).
Jez Butterworth is the author of The River, Mojo, The Night Heron, The Winterling, Parlour Song and Jerusalem. He has won numerous awards for his work, including the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He lives in Somerset, England.
