Equal parts hilarious and heart-breaking, Matt Anderson's Shotgunned is a relatable and intimate piece of theatre about how the people we lose can shape who we become. Telling the story of Dylan and Roz – a couple who unexpectedly fall out of love – Shotgunned takes the audience on a non-linear journey through their relationship in a collection of fragmented scenes, like photographs in a shoebox or memories of a bygone age. Shotgunned is a poignant and humorous reflection on the messy and the beautiful in relationships, and how we can come up against a dead end, no matter how much we care for each other.

Can she start her new life with only a phone and a stale Go Ahead bar? And has she, finally, lost the plot?
