This show marks the first Shakespeare production Reconnect Theatres produced, and we were so excited to make our debut with this traditional showing and an all-Scottish cast.
Bringing Shakespeare to West Lothian, is something we are very passionate about. We want to make the bard accessible to audiences and give it a place on modern stages. Therefore, Reconnect Theatres is very proud of what we have achieved with Macbeth.

Debuting at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 is a brand-new three-hander providing 55-minutes of ultimate Scottish patter. Buzz, Faolan, Tinny invite the audience into the front room for an hour of paranoia, rage and an alternative take on friendship and greed. Find out what happens when a paranoid drug dealer lets slip that all his money is stored in his dads garden shed. Will any of the boys take this opportunity? After all, “he can’t phone the police and report stolen drug money can he?”
This original piece of work was written by Sam Stuart Fraser and Sean Fullwood, with Pete Sneddon.
Cast as follows; Xander Cowan as BUZZ, Kieran Lee-Hamilton as FAOLAN, Sam Stuart Fraser as TINNY
Check out the reviews:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – North West End UK
“This play is timely. The three actors play archetypes to perfection and the casting is spot-on. The hour flies by with moments of normalcy, a sprinkle of ridicule, mad, outrageous indignation and loyalty. The script is very funny.” Read Here
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Broadway Baby
“A drug-fuelled 55-minutes of delightful Scottish patter, worth seeing if only to hear the richness of the broad accents and breadth of vocabulary…Doped shines a comedic light on these issues and is a splendid piece of theatre.” Read Here
