Melody is in the care system and has been separated from her little sister Harmony – she’s got to keep hold of her toy monster Mojo to keep her on the straight and narrow. But when new girl Blessing arrives from Nigeria and tries to steal her best mate Rizla, Melody’s demons begin to take over her Mojo, with devastating consequences…

This unique piece of Hip Hop Theatre, fusing spoken word, music, dance, puppetry and street art brings together a remarkable artistic team including Sue Buckmaster (Theatre-Rites), Kwesi Johnson (Kompany Malakhi), club artist Mark Wigan (I.D magazine / The Brain Club) and Hobbit (International Beat-boxing Champion)

Suitable for ages 13+

’It's not easy to suggest that the toughest teenager may conceal the most vulnerable child, but this play has it in the bag.'
