Following sold out and extended seasons in the United Kingdom, Andrew Kay and Associates and Adelaide Festival Centre are thrilled to present the King's Head Theatre & In Your Face production of Irvine Welsh's cult, generation-defining novelTrainspotting from 17 February - 19 March during the Adelaide Fringe at Station Underground, a secret location in the CDB to be announced.

Incredibly, it is over two decades since Irvine Welsh's cult classic, Trainspotting, landed on bookshelves and twenty years since Danny Boyle's film impacted on modern culture in a way rarely seen before.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Irvine Welsh and Danny Boyle's iconic, generation-defining film Trainspotting, and ahead of the 2017 release of its sequel, a no-holds-barred immersive theatrical adaptation opens at The Vaults in Waterloo on 8 November (previews from 3 November), and run until 15 January 2017. To further mark the anniversary, 20 tickets at £20 will be available for every performance.

In Your Face Theatre and the King's Head are giving London another chance to see their punchy, adrenaline-fuelled production of Irvine Welsh's cult classic TRAINSPOTTING, prior to a national tour. Kicking off with an immersive rave lit by glowsticks, audiences are given a no-holds-barred, close-up view of the lives of Renton, Begbie and Sickboy in a production that redefines this classic story of hedonism and drug culture for a 21st-century audience.
