It’s back! Trainspotting returns to the Citz
After a sell-out run in 2016 Trainspotting returns to the Citizens this month
Audiences and critics were blown away by last year's production.
Trainspotting plays at the Citizens Theatre from 18 October – 11 November, before moving to the King’s Theatre Edinburgh, where it will be presented by Selladoor Scotland, from 14 – 18 November.
Audiences and critics were blown away by last year's production.
“And if you want further proof that Trainspotting is one of the
great, iconic narratives of the last 25 years, then you should beat a path to
the Citizens’ Theatre, where this sharply-timed revival of Harry Gibson’s stage
version – emerging just in advance of Trainspotting’s film sequel – is playing
to packed houses and standing ovations.”
The Scotsman ★★★★★
“everything a theatre production should be”
Broadway World ★★★★★
“crackles with a raw new power”
The
Independent ★★★★
“Nicholls shows Trainspotting still speaks loudly, scabrously and
irreverently about urban alienation and young lives under pressure”
The Guardian ★★★★
“The cast of five, led by Lorn Macdonald as Renton…make the
material their own.”
The Herald ★★★★
“To take on such a production takes courage; to both recognise and
subvert expectation takes skill; qualities here in thankful evidence”
The National ★★★★
Trainspotting cannot be summed up in a mere tweet. What an outstanding piece of Scottish theatre!— Larissa Jean Currie (@Larissa_Currie) September, 16 2016

#trainspotting @citizenstheatre is just brilliant. Amazing performances, lighting, music, images. Beautifully uncomfortable and darkly funny— Gary Cameron (@gccameronmd) September 18 2016
