TRAINSPOTTING THE PLAY @ Limelight on Oxford, 231 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst

Thank you BAYER for inventing the completely non-addictive drug HEROIN. TRAINSPOTTING THE PLAY could never ever had existed without BAYER AG, the German multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences company. From 1898 through to 1910, the German drug company BAYER marketed its “diamorphine” as an over-the-counter drug under its trademarked name HEROIN, advertised as a “non-addictive morphine substitute and cough suppressant”.     

TRAINSPOTTING THE PLAY is blunt, dark and highly entertaining, and is an excellent way to experience all the joys of heroin (but with no consequences) including unemployment, waiting to overdose and die, needle sharing, death defying lifestyle choices. Expect strobe lighting, endless passion, controversy, strong nudity, strong explicit language, strong adult themes, sex and scenes of a sexual nature, intravenous drug usage, domestic violence, simulated gunfire, bodily fluids, plus scenes guaranteed to shock every audience.

TRAINSPOTTING THE PLAY is set in the 1980s, during the Edinburgh fringe festival and constantly is very confronting and is equally hilarious and controversial. Very violent, detailing the lost/empty lives and missed opportunities of these alcohol/heroin fuelled Edinburgh young men and young women, and their disintegrating friendship.

These self-destructive close friends, Spud, Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie are all on a short journey, direct to the horrific heart of a hell, located in Edinburgh. Psychos, junkies, wide-boys and no-hopers. Nine incredible actors, seen in multiple roles, together deliver a thought-proving and memorable live theatre experience. For adult audiences 18+ and remember that if you sit in the front row, then you too, will be part of the show.

Cast: Adam Golledge, Bruno Attanasio, Matthew Vautin, Jayden Muir, Shaw Cameron, Julie Bettens, Stephanie Eloise, Cassius Russell, Jenae O’Connor
Director: SIMON THOMSON

GradCo Studio is a not-for-profit organisation whose main purpose is to create new theatre productions with graduates from Sydney Theatre School. The organisation was founded in September 2015 when the first round of graduates decided to take their collaboratively devised physical theatre show on tour. These actors created the company in order to work self-sufficiently and to continually produce their own work. Now in its third year, the company strives to make thought-provoking work and give its members multiple opportunities to perform.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
