Devious Theatre’s Trainspotting: “Kicking the habit”

The Devious Theatre Company have just released the fifth video clip from our production of Irvine Welsh’s ‘Trainspotting‘ in the Watergate Theatre last June.

Check out the above clip featuring myself as Mark Renton and Stephen “Pip” Colfer as…well? Everybody else! This scene was easily my favourite scene to perform in the show, it was so much fun despite having to put my hands down the worst toilet in Scotland.

Pip (who was already playing Spud) took on multiple characters in this scene, just the night before, when Mick Murphy broke his ankle in what will forever be known as “The Batman Trailer Tragedy”. It’s a total credit to Pip for doing an awesome job, but it’s strange that when I watch the video of this scene, I don’t remember it, everything happened so quickly, after months of rehearsing this scene with Mick, the show went by so quick that I only remember doing this scene the first night with Mick!?

You can read all about my experiences during Trainspotting here on a previous blog post. And don’t forget to subscribe to the Devious Theatre Youtube for plenty more video clips to come.
