Trainspotting Live

Trainspotting Live

★★★★★   Uncompromising:
Take the original Trainspotting movie and put it in IMAX. Turn the sound up to 120%, the acting to 130%. and have all the gore, faeces and bile flying out of the screen, right up in your face. You’ve now got some sense of Trainspotting Live.
