Trainspotting Live to Tour UK in 2019

Trainspotting Live to Tour in

Trainspotting Live, the acclaimed no-holds-barred immersive, in-yer-face theatre staging of Irvine Welsh’s classic novel, will tour the UK in 2019.  Based on the novel by Irvine Welsh, adapted by Harry Gibson, Trainspotting Live is directed by Kings Head Theatre artistic director Adam Spreadbury-Maher with Greg Esplin.

Harry Gibson’s original stage adaptation, written before it became the famous blockbuster film, was instantly successful and controversial, and won The Sunday Times Award for Best New Play.

Trainspotting Live captures the passion and the controversy of the famous novel, then globally successful film, and repackages it into a full-throttle show where the audience are literally part of the action, including the notorious ‘Worst Toilet in Scotland’ scene.

       

Against a dynamic soundscape of 80s dance music, the stories of a group of friends living through the Edinburgh heroin scene – Renton, Tommy, Sick Boy, Begbie and Alison – are brought to life with humour, poetry and provocatively graphic scenes. For their acclaimed revival, which has been seen in London, New York, and across five sell-out Edinburgh Fringe seasons, Scottish company In Your Face Theatre’s cast have created a snappy and vibrant affirmation of the power and humour of the piece.This is a no-holds-barred immersive, in-yer-face theatre production: this is your ticket to a ride you won’t soon forget. Choose life.

For avid fans this is a must, and if you’ve never read the book or seen Danny Boyle’s iconic, generation-defining Trainspotting film: this is your ticket to a ride you won’t soon forget.
