New Irvine Welsh play: Babylon Heights

The World Premiere of Babylon Heights, a new play written by Irvine with Dean Cavanagh opens at the Exit Theatre in San Francisco on June 14. It’s the tale of the munchkin who hung himself on the set of the Wizard of Oz. Look closely at the scene with Dorothy, the Woodsman and the scarecrow heading down the yellow brick road. There he is. Swinging.

The myth and Hollywood legend surrounding the crazed munchkins endures to this day. Babylon Heights brings the Irvine Welsh style to this uproarious tale of Hollywood mayhem.
