Trainspotting.

synopsis.

Trainspotting is a play filled with graphic realism and yet prone to fantastic moments of comedy. It tells the story of a group of young friends struggling with addiction in the city of Edinburgh. For them their use heroin, and other drugs, are as a form of escape from the harsh reality of their lives. Ultimately, it’s a play less about addiction than about the struggle of friendship and the choice between complete self-destruction, and life.

“Choose life? Choose mortgage payments, choose cars, choose dishwashers… Ah chose not tae choose life. Ah chose something else…”

Trainspotting is a fascinating, alternative dark comedy adapted by Harry Gibson from Irvine Welsh’s best-selling novel. A series of surreal scenes of outstanding comedy, originality and gritty dialogue, it is a play as equally dark and violent, as it is funny.
