TRAINSPOTTING- A coarse, intense and hilarious rollercoaster ride through the heroin-hinterlands of Thatcher-era Leith is coming to the King's Theatre, Edinburgh, and we have a pair of tickets up for grabs.

In a world where work and opportunities are scarce Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie and Spud, rail against the trappings of a successful lifestyle held out of their reach, and seek life through the point of a needle.

Published in 1993, Irvine Welsh's cult novel Trainspotting defined a generation and remains one of the most important, hard-hitting stories of our time.

Gareth Nicholls' acclaimed production honours both the iconic novel and Danny Boyle's famous film adaptation, while creating a hard-hitting and poignant theatre show about urban alienation and young lives under pressure.

Edinburgh heroin addict Mark Renton buys opium suppositories from dealer Mikey Forrester to help him quit. After his final hit, and a violent spell of diarrhea caused by cessation of heroin, he locks himself in his flat to endure the withdrawal period. Finding that his sex drive has returned, he leaves a club with a girl, Diane, and they have sex in her bedroom. In the morning, he realises that Diane is underage and that her "flatmates" are her parents. Diane threatens to reveal the encounter if he ends the relationship.

Renton and his friends, oafish but good-natured Spud and con artist Sick Boy, start using heroin again. His friend Tommy, a clean-cut athelete whose girlfriend has dumped him after a chain of events initiated by Renton, also begins using. Where will it all end?
