I LIKE to go to the theatre and decided to go to the Theatre Studio and see Trainspotting. Not knowing what to expect, I settled down to be entertained.

How wrong I was - filth, more filth and obscenities were flung at me from the four participants of this production as they acted out scenes of drug abuse and sexual deprivation.

I felt sickened by this revolting show and wondered to what purpose someone would produce such obnoxious filth. Was the intention to 'enlighten' us about what life really is like "on the other side"?

I felt defiled and wanted to escape from this hovel and the blank faces around me, and disinfect myself in the fresh air outside.
