Trainspotting The Musical Comes to Sunderland

Based on Irvine Welsh's iconic novel and its film adaptation, this new stage musical brings the raw energy of Edinburgh's underbelly to life. With music and lyrics by Stephen McGuinness and Welsh himself, the production is directed by Caroline Jay Ranger and features Lewis Kidd as Renton.

Attendees can expect a visceral theatrical experience that captures the dark humour and gritty realism of the source material. The show's UK tour follows a West End premiere, bringing its powerful storytelling and original score to audiences across the country.

This stop at Sunderland Empire is part of an extensive national tour, offering fans a chance to see the musical in an intimate setting.
