Irvine Welsh's TRAINSPOTTING LIVE to embark on countrywide tour from September 2022

James Seabright has announced that the critically acclaimed immersive production of Trainspotting Live – based on Irvine Welsh’s seminal book Trainspotting – will be setting out on a highly anticipated tour from September, including an off-West End season at Riverside Studios.

This punchy, 75-minute production recaptures the passion and the controversy of the famous novel, then 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. 

The show is currently playing at the Edinburgh Fringe before visiting Corby, Manchester, Windermere, Glasgow, London and Southampton.

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.

This no-holds-barred immersive, in-yer-face theatre production is a must for avid fans, and if you’ve never read the book or seen the film: this is your ticket to a ride you won’t soon forget.
