A DAKOTA COLLECTIVE production in association with HighTide
Simon Jaggers is a visionary from England’s wastelands. Gun to your Head is a celebration of a play. Like a Disco Pigs for England’s ghost hours. It’s so beautiful it’s actually ludicrous.’ – Simon Stephens, playwright
It’s summer and teenage runaways Dakota and Bede are hiding out in an abandoned quarry, buried deep in the belly of England. It’s a magical, frightening place, where youth tangles with death and dreams are forgotten. A razor-edged playground in which our tearaways can escape their past and imagine impossible futures.
In this riotous punk-play of pop culture, games and reddit folklore, the stakes keep rising. Gun to your head… what could go wrong?
GUN TO YOUR HEAD had a SOLD-OUT run at VAULT Festival 2023.
