Trainspotting Live - Assistant Director

We are looking for an Assistant Director for Trainspotting Live at the Edinburgh Fringe. About the show: The acclaimed no-holds-barred immersive, in-yer-face theatre staging of Irvine Welsh's classic, Trainspotting Live – returns to Edinburgh Fringe once again! Trainspotting Live captures the passion and the controversy of the famous novel, then globally successful film, and repackages it into a full-throttle show where the audience are literally part of the action, including the notorious 'Worst Toilet in Scotland' scene. Against a dynamic soundscape of 80s dance music, the stories of a group of friends living through the Edinburgh heroin scene – Renton, Tommy, Sick Boy, Begbie and Allison – are brought to life with humour, poetry and provocatively graphic scenes. It's a ticket to ride you won't soon forget. Trainspotting Live is based on the novel by Irvine Welsh, adapted by Harry Gibson, originally directed by Adam Spreadbury-Maher in collaboration with Greg Esplin. This production will be directed by Ben Anderson and Greg Esplin.
