FERNDALE
-Who Wants Cake? Theatre is thrilled to present its next late night venture, Harry Gibson's stage adaptation of Irvine Welsh's "Trainspotting," for an exclusive four-week run at Ferndale's The Ringwald Theatre from May 29 through June 22. Performances will be 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights, with two 8 p.m. Monday performances on June 15 and 22.
Irvine Welsh's novel, "Trainspotting," exploded onto the scene in 1993, stunning audiences with its bleak and darkly humorous depiction of the decaying friendships of a bunch of no-hopers, heroin addicts and petty criminals attempting to escape the boredom of their lives. Harry Gibson's theatrical adaptation debuted in 1994 to great acclaim before Danny Boyle's 1996 film version made "Trainspotting" a cultural landmark. The story follows Renton, Sick Boy, Tommy and Begbie as they embark on a horrific journey to the heart of a world peopled by psychos, junkies, and drunk Scottish fathers.
Tickets are $10 for all performances. Anyone attending the 8 p.m. performance of "Songs from an Unmade Bed" on Saturday, May 30 can attend "Trainspotting" for only $5.
