Play Creators Awards: This relaxed, fun evening will celebrate the recent stellar achievements of both inventors and in-house R&D teams across a raft of categories.

Langella storms on to the stage, where Robert Innes Hopkins's simple, strong design is dominated by a tarnished throne. This not a Lear who works up to his roars. He is from the beginning a wounded lion. So much so that you fear for his howls on the heath: will there be anything left after all this might? Langella impressively dredges up more desperation, but his compelling decline is essentially from authority rather than from sanity. In losing power he loses one sense of himself rather than all sense of himself. The exceptional lucidity of the production brings a limitation. The play is no longer an expression of madness, a thing made up of fragments, a disaster zone of terrible episodes. Perfect Nonsense is sometimes too strenuously ho-ho to be fall-over funny. But funny it is, and as it pulls theatrical devices to pieces it gleefully shows what theatre can do. Also what Wodehouse can do. It's studded with enviable phrases, without dully illustrating them. Goofy on the outside, gimlet within, the writer had "the sort of eye that could open an oyster at 60 paces". Thank you so much for Saturday night, everyone commented on what a fab band you are. We will definitely book you next year' Ezra, the owner of The Atlantic, is Silver Johnny’s jealous and domineering manager. The play opens with an unseen meeting between Ezra and Sam about the future of Silver Johnny. Outside the meeting, Ezra’s two hired guns, Sweets and Potts, talk about what is going on in the meeting. They are high on amphetamines. Baby, Ezra’s abused, psychotic son, arrives with Skinny, another member of Ezra’s gang. Baby torments Skinny to keep himself amused. To test the Chords’ portability, we plug our B&W P5 headphones into the Mojo and play Slowdive’s Sugar For The Pillfrom Tidal over Bluetooth.

They love us!

Individually members of MOJO have collaborated with such artists as Justin Haywood (The Moody Blues) Mike Darbo (Manfred Man)The Commitments Andy Partridge (XTC) Sam Brown Living in a Box, Terry Dean & Bow Wow Wow and have appeared on T.V. and Radio. In 1997 a film adaptation was released of the stage play. It was also written and directed by Butterworth. Mojo was the hit the Royal Court was looking for. When the BBC suggested adapting it for cinema, Butterworth knew he wanted in. "I was 26 and I'd always wanted to be a film director," he says. Matheson recalls visiting the playwright's Soho flat and seeing a book called How to Make a Film. "It was there on the coffee table," he laughs. "He must have thought, 'I'll get the manual.'"

And when it’s time for his warped, auto-tuned chop to come in, it’s placed centre-stage with a level of articulacy and dynamic discernment the Cambridge can’t quite match. That insight extends to the low end, with heft anchoring the tuneful bassline. Yet it's the play itself that is the real fascination. The fug of a 50s Soho nightclub is vividly conjured in Ultz's design of battered brown wood and misted glass. So is the flash of the Teds and gangsters who hang around in their pegs and silver suits and red plims. Tarantino's bloody print is stamped on the action. Echoes of David Mamet's voice can sometimes be heard in the slam of the dialogue, though Butterworth's rhythms are more sinuous and his vocabulary more baroque. The real godfather to the play's dandy thuggery, its blend of threat and sex, of fierce feeling and delicate phrasing, and its love of London, is Harold Pinter. When Mojo was filmed in 1997, Butterworth wrote in a small part as a gay gangster for Pinter to play. We connect the pair to our reference Gamut amplifier’s RCA input, and compared to the Cambridge CXN (our Award-winning music streamer/DAC at this price), the Chord combo is clearly more articulate and rhythmically adept. I wish, having much admired her as an actress in modern drama, that Isabella Laughland were both more wan and more commanding as Cordelia. Though extraordinarily convincing, livid-faced as a corpse, she is inert when supposed to be most alive. She chops up her lines as if she had something against them. The band is made up of high calibre session musicians with over 20 years of live performance experience in the industry.As the gang come to terms with the grizzly end of their leader, a power struggle ensues leaving individual members unsure of where they stand. Disconnected from the Mojo, the Poly is about the size of a typical vintage cigarette lighter. When the two are attached, their combined size is closer to that of a small hipflask. Take them out of the equation by plugging headphones directly into the smartphone and the performance isn’t anywhere near as clear, solid or detailed. While set-up has undeniably improved, usability is still more laborious than it could be with one does-it-all app. Still, that niggle seems much less significant once the pairing is let loose with your music library. The cast of Mojo is all male and primarily involved in clubs, drugs and gangs. They swear profusely, cheat regularly, occasionally murder and are generally a little amoral. Johnny Silver is the only musical talent, with the rest competing for the right to capitalise on his skill. Jez Butterworth's Mojo: characters

While the live event will be the heart of the Play Creators Festival, this hybrid model – with virtual pitching opportunities – is a vital for us as we look to build on the success of our Virtual Mojo Pitch. It aligns with our aim to provide important opportunities for inventors and designers, wherever they may be based in the world.” More information on conference speakers, award nominations and companies participating in the Mojo Pitch will be announced over the next few weeks and months. We’ve got loads of Insta stories, Reels, and social media post templates to up your social media game. Whatever the reason and whatever your style, we’ve got something for you. Although never seen in the play, Ezra is the gang leader who owns The Atlantic and manages Silver Johnny. He is Baby's abusive father and is murdered by Ross in a power struggle over the business rights to Silver Johnny’s career. BabyMOJO are one of the South West’s top function bands whose reputation for delivering edgy exciting live performances have held them in high regard with many top corporate clients year after year.

MP3 disco music is available between sets - or whatever era/ decade you prefer, for example chart/ 80’s/ 70’s - the band have have remixed CD’s to cater for any era. In terms of musical matrimony, the Poly and Mojo could be gearing up for their Silver anniversary. Sonically, this is a match made in hi-fi heaven. MOJO is a high energy five piece covers band featuring strong male and female vocals coupled with high end musicians whose combination of experience versatility and dynamics never fail to deliver attitude with a totally professional approach. Another great performance. I need not remind you how much your music was appreciated last year as we have asked for a return visit. Another splendid performance, we all enjoyed a fantastic evening, thank you MOJO.
