In 1996 a British film was released that captured the imagination of a generation, with its killer soundtrack and group of achingly hip young actors on the brink of making it big. Now, two decades later (and with the long-awaited sequel T2 finally on its way), Trainspotting is back — as you’ve never seen it before. And never will again.
In collaboration with Film4, Empire will be hosting a live script read. Completely recast with an exciting group of young actors who will play the parts for one night only. If you miss it, that’s it — you’ve missed it forever.
Relive the film that defined the Britpop era, live on stage, from the opening “Choose Life” monologue to the final moments when... well, just in case you haven’t seen it, we won’t spoil what happens. Choose life. Choose the Trainspotting Live Script Read.
