The stage play, we are performing in Innsbruck, doesn't follow the movie, though
such a stage version is played very successfully in England and Berlin. Our Version
is written by Thomas Gassner taken directly from the book written by Irvine Welsh
Btw, our announcement is at: http://www.tirol.com/provinz/dreck.htm
There is even a photo of mine pretty far down of that page, but you won't see as
much as they took a picture, I've covered my face. I don't know why they did that.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but our performance is a row of very rapid played
scenes placed in a laundry saloon functioning as living room, bar, hospital and so
on.. Playing Begbie is a lot of fun. He is the central character, very unpredictable in
his quick change of emotions and a very thankful job to do.
Yesterday happened a real highlight of improvisation. I accidentally wounded
myself with a broken bottle at the forehead while playing. Nothing serious, you
know, but I was heavily bleeding and I had still a long part to go. So I turned to
a coplayer by yelling at her:"Where's your handkerchief, Destimona !!" "Which
handkerchief ??" she replied astonished continuing very innocently, " Ooh, the
handkerchief. I don't know, I've to look outside" and then coming back she said
with the same innocence: "Please, don't kill me ... I've found it !" - Big Applause.
Would have been great to have you over here.
