Trainspotting The Musical Comes to Glasgow

Based on Irvine Welsh's iconic novel and the cult film adaptation, Trainspotting The Musical brings the raw energy of Edinburgh's underbelly to the stage. The production features music and lyrics by Stephen McGuinness and Welsh himself, with direction by Caroline Jay Ranger.

Audiences can expect a visceral theatrical experience as the musical follows the lives of a group of friends navigating addiction, friendship, and survival in 1990s Scotland. The Glasgow run at Theatre Royal is part of a major UK tour following its West End premiere.

With a creative team deeply connected to the source material, this stage adaptation captures the dark humour and gritty realism that made Trainspotting a cultural phenomenon.
