GUN TO YOUR HEAD by Simon Jaggers
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
You probably haven't heard of teenage runaways Dakota and Bede yet. But you will.
They'll be all over the radio and splashed across newspapers - bigger than Thelma and Louise. That's the plan anyway. Gun to your head: what could possibly go wrong?
DAKOTA COLLECTIVE are a multi-award nominated theatre crew telling transcendent stories in unconventional spaces. For May 2025, they are bringing their sell-out hit GUN TO YOUR HEAD on tour in association with HighTide, East Anglia’s foremost theatre company for new writing.
GUN TO YOUR HEAD had a SOLD-OUT run at VAULT Festival 2023.
