The stage adaptation of “Trainspotting” has been axed mid-tour due to dismal ticket sales, with Edinburgh’s run at just 19% capacity — a stark sign of the economic squeeze hitting live theater. Cast and crew took to social media before the official announcement, thanking fans for their support while acknowledging the tough reality: over 30 people on set, but few willing or able to spend on tickets right now. Reviews were harsh, calling it an “awkward resuscitation” of the iconic film, which itself was a cultural earthquake in 1996. While the London run at Theatre Royal Haymarket still goes ahead until September 5th, ticket holders will get refunds — a bittersweet consolation as the future of touring productions like this grows murkier.
