Come Here To Me!

If so, Curleysue wants to borrow them for a production of Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy at the T@36 Theatre in The Teachers Club later this month.

Ecstasy by Irvine Welsh, is set in Edinburgh against the backdrop of the early 90’s rave scene. Our members and our audience will be familiar with Welsh’s other works, in particular ‘Trainspotting’ which achieved great success and depicted heroin addiction. The subject matter of the play, the language used and many …of the scenes presented new challenges for our entire team and provided an excellent opportunity for those on and off stage to develop their skills.

For me, I’ve always had a soft spot for the music and ethos of the rave culture. The high energy, anthemic music was pretty much all I listened to at the time. The friendly vibes and dancing contrasted with the dark and introspection of the grunge sceneof the time. However there was a dark subculture within that scene. Making it both an uplifting and tragic cultural background for the story. – Director Dave McGowan

The play runs from the 17th to the 21st of May. Doors open at 7.30 and the play begins at 8 sharp!
