The critically acclaimed immersive production of Trainspotting Live will be coming to the MAST Mayflower Studios from Wednesday 9 to Saturday 12 November.
Based on Irvine Welsh’s seminal book, Trainspotting, this punchy, 75 minute production recaptures the passion and the controversy of the famous novel, and globally successful film, and repackages it into an immersive production.
The audience are literally part of the show, including the notorious ‘worst toilet in Scotland’ scene.
Trainspotting is the story of Mark Renton and his friends living through the Edinburgh heroin scene of the 80s.
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.
In Your Face Theatre’s Scottish cast have created a snappy and vibrant affirmation of the power and humour of the piece.
