Would love to see the stage version

First play I've read from Welsh, but I was very impressed with the balance of humor, drama and typical screwed up mentality of the characters, which is a very common flavor of Irvine Welsh. It's a short read, but extremely entertaining and I couldn't put it down until I was done.


great quick read if you like irvine welsh

just going to be brief, but i thought this was an enjoyable quick read about two kidnappers and the guy they kidnap and his gf. its like welsh's other novels where it has some very funny parts but at other times has some very deep serious portions.
some of it might seem to be a bit of a stretch, but hey it is fiction, it'd probably be interesting to actually see on stage.
so if you like welsh i suggest readin this. or if you havent this might be a good starter read.

Worth reading... or putting on a production.

There's a much publicised divide 'twixt Edinburgh and Glasgow... the two cities lie less than fourty miles apart. One is huge and cosmopolitan, the other is the capital of Scotland. The title of the play subverts the phraze Edinburgh hosts are alleged to greet their guests with; "You'll have had your tea, then?"

This play, I think, preceeded Gargarin Way (by a playright whose name I cannot recall at present, but a similar sceniario, and just as good if not better).

It's worth reading. Really sick, obviously, but there's Mr Welsh for you.

You'll have had your hole?? huh??

For those of you who don't know, such as myself, the phrase "you'll have had your hole", translates to getting some action. Which is exactly what this screenplay is all about. I enjoyed it very much. It is a quick read. Yet, somehow disturbing to the mind for a very long time. Once again, Irvine Welsh, has giving us charaters we can relate to. Though we may not all want to cop up to it. I have always found welsh's dialogs between charaters the strongest part of his work. This play is a great example of this.

It takes you though a few days in the life of three main charaters. The reader is becomes a part of a kidnapping, a seduction, a love story, violence, a rape, and into the head of a very twisted HIV infected, brutal outcast. I must confess, the end of this play really messed with my head. I wasn't sure I liked it. Until it dawned on me, how much of an impact it had on me. Any serious Welsh fan will love this play! Anyone who is sick of the same old recyceled fiction should love love it too. I've said it before, Welsh is not for the light hearted and easily distrubed people. That would be why this play was pulled off the stage in the U.K. Most people just aren't ready for this kind of writing. Which is why I think Welsh has such a big following among my generation. We all have a rebel in us wanting to get out. We all have twisted thoughts we never admit to. Welsh has no problem putting these thoughts into words. I'd hope that you fellow Welsh fans get ahold of this play. It will definatly shock even the most unshockable!

A play from the author of Trainspotting Within the sound-proofed walls of a disused recording studio, a score is being settled. Two inner city low-lifes take the law into their own hands to satisfy their craving for fun, fear and a freakish sense of justice. "You'll Have Had Your Hole" premiered at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and toured internationally - although it was banned in Belgium.
