King's Head and In Your Face presented by Seabright Live

Acclaimed immersive adaptation of Irvine Welsh's classic novel, staged in a bespoke venue unique to the show. The audience are literally part of the action, including the notorious 'worst toilet in Scotland' scene. Eight sell-out Fringe seasons – early booking recommended! Choose life. 'The most uncompromising and controversial show you are likely to see anywhere' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). '75 of the most intense, funny and moving minutes of theatre I have ever experienced' ***** (BoxDust.com). 'The cast are incredible' ***** (TheatreScotland.co.uk). 'Better than either the book or film in my opinion' (Irvine Welsh). 'A big fat hit' (NME).
