Trainspotting The Musical Comes to Brighton

Based on Irvine Welsh's novel and the film adaptation, Trainspotting The Musical brings the story to the stage with music and lyrics by Stephen McGuinness and Welsh. The production is directed by Caroline Jay Ranger and stars Lewis Kidd as Renton.

Attendees can expect a theatrical experience rooted in the source material's gritty realism and dark humour. The musical follows a group of friends navigating addiction, poverty, and rebellion in 1990s Scotland, with original songs woven into the narrative.

This UK tour stop at Brighton Dome follows the show's world premiere at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London's West End. The production has been developed with input from Welsh himself, ensuring a faithful adaptation of the iconic story.
