Details

Jacko Rollins runs the Lone Star Shootin' Range on a northern funfair. But the man he put away for murder has just got out of jail, with vengeance on his mind. As the hours tick down will Jacko run or will he stand his ground? And who can he trust, now Geordie's back in town? Jacko's Hour is a powerful retelling, for modern times, of the classic Western High Noon. Fabulous music, intense drama, and Death disguised as Gary Cooper - what more could you ask for in an all-guns-blazing contemporary mini opera?
