REVIEWS

★★★★★

“Offensive, joyous, crass, distressing, life-giving, life-taking, invigorating: Trainspotting Live is a magnificent, unmissable hit.”

★★★★

“An exhilarating show shifts Renton, Sick Boy and pals into the acid house era – and is even more visceral than the book.”


“I chose Trainspotting Live as my first show as it was the one show that came up every time I asked people for recommendations, my only fear now is that this cast have set the bar too high.”
