“The Porter is dark, funny, edgy, political, clever, a truth teller - Stewart is all of these things, and straight away I knew I wanted to ask him to write it. He has a really deep understanding of how comedy works. The Porter scene is a strange meta moment in Macbeth and I knew Stewart would enjoy playing with that.”

Wils Wilson, Director

“I am delighted to have been asked by Wils Wilson to rewrite the rubbish Porter scene from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which is in dire need of a post-alternative comedy makeover. At the moment the scene is 2 hours long but hopefully will expand in rehearsal.”

Stewart Lee

“Alison Peebles was the first person I asked to be in this production. She’s a wonderful actor, one of Scotland’s finest, she has such a commanding presence. She’s full of mischief. I also like the fact she is an older woman joking about drinking and sex and misbehaving."
