Strolling through the Meadows
In an extract from Irvine Welsh鈥檚 Trainspotting, Brian Duffy appears as Spud, trying to stop Renton and Sick Boy from torturing a squirrel with an image problem similar to theirs.
Making their way across a busy Meadows at the height of the Edinburgh Festival, Renton and Sick Boy upset Spud when they start tormenting a squirrel. Their ever-sensitive pal points out that vermin status is very much in the eye of the beholder, as two passing posh wifies make abundantly clear. Starring as part of the National Theatre of Scotland鈥檚 Scenes for Survival series, actor Brian Duffy performs this extract from Irvine Welsh鈥檚 seminal Scottish novel Trainspotting in British Sign Language, recorded in Seoul, South Korea, directed by Davey Anderson. Produced in association with Solar Bear, with support from Hopscotch Films.
