A physical, often comic and deeply affecting drama about two boys (Mojo and Mickybo) aged 9 and 10 whose friendship begins at a chance meeting in a park and is cemented by their obsession with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Set both in 1970’s Belfast and the present day Mojo Mickybo is an exhilarating whirlwind adventure through the streets of this colourful city. Two actors play a host of 14 characters ranging from local bullies Gank and Fuckface to Uncle Sidney the Cinema owner, the Old Major who lives in the bonfire and the gossiping women at the top of the street.

“Wonderfully affectionate and entirely unsentimental re-creation of childhood. So vividly realised that it is impossible not to fall for its exuberant charms.”
