"Trainspotting" - as I am sure you will all know - is a serious piece of work, and my mate The Nanny made a terrific job of directing our production at the Fringe this year.
The show rips open the fabric of the world of the cozy theatre goers world, grips you by the throat and pulls you into another world. And it's a world that probably exists within a couple of miles of where you sit reading this now. Needles and desperation; soaring highs and crushing despair; death and deceit. Like a lot of great art, it shows you other places. (Read "Brick Lane" or "Midnight's Children" or "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep").
Having said all that, my favourite moment is the drug induced incident involving a man in a hamster costume. I urge you to go and see it. You will laugh yourself silly.
It's on again next week at East Kilbride and tickets are available here - http://boxoffice.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/
