Review – Trainspotting
✭✭✭✩✩ Hardcore theatre-making:
Wild and unruly, In Your Face Theatre’s production of Trainspotting makes interesting use of the open space of the Out of the Blue Drill Hall for its immersive, promenade format.
★★★★★ Visceral
Overstimulating, intense, shocking, and emotional, Trainspotting Live at Pleasance at EICC isn’t afraid to take it too far – and has become a sensation by doing just that.
★★★★★ 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.
✭✭✭✭✭ Obtrusive Masterpiece
Young critics scheme review:
Visceral images, bombarding music and the classically sorrowful plot, In Your Face Theatre immerses you in Irvine Welsh’s drug-fuelled Trainspotting.
