The adrenalin filled production captures the controversy of Irvine Welsh’s seminal novel and globally acclaimed film, translating it into an immersive production that portrays the underground drug scene in a smacked-out Edinburgh.
Kicking off with a rave complete with strobe lighting and glow-sticks, audiences are given a no-holds-barred, close-up view of the lives of Renton, Begbie and Sickboy as they are thrown head first into a world of hedonism and the bleak reality of heroin addiction.
The show comes with a caveat, however: “Please note that the show delivers an entirely immersive experience, please dress appropriately and do not wear your best clothes.”
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
