Gun to your Head is a sharp, energetic two-hander centring two teenage misfits who’ve run away from home and are hiding out in an abandoned quarry buried deep in the belly of England.
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.
