Trainspotting:
Starring Shane O’Regan, Fionn Foley, Meg Healy & Lorcan Strain.
In a new major production of Harry Gibson’s adaptation of Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh’s controversial and raw depiction of a drug culture rife in Edinburgh in the 1980s, is an uncompromising work that still packs a punch today. Danny Boyle’s film adaptation and subsequent sequel T2, is testament to
its continued relevance. Brought to life through a soundscape of 80s dance music, with a live DJ playing pre & post show, the edgy Scottish humour and uncompromising dialogue follows a group of friends as they struggle to survive the Edinburgh heroin scene.

"This production of Trainspotting is akin to being bitten by beautiful king cobra. It’s a beautiful,
hypnotic creature with graceful movements and a venomous tongue."
Pure M Magazine
"Shane O’Regan (Mark Renton) and Lorcan Strain (Tommy/Sick Boy) steal the show with their nimble
knife-flick switches between characters and emotions."
