The Mojo and the Sayso

Aishah Rahman’s The Mojo and the Sayso exists between a prayer and a spell. It is a wonderfully crafted, triumphant, fantasy play that takes its lead from a devastating tragedy. Three years after the shooting death of a 10-year-old boy by a plain-clothed police officer, a family separated in their mourning pieces back the remnants of their love. But first they must find their Mojo, truths must be revealed, and a ritual exorcism must occur. Inspired by a true story.
