[Scene is a high school classroom. A teacher is writing on the whiteboard 'ACT 2 SCENE 3'.]

TEACHER:
OK class - open up Macbeth to Act 2 Scene 3...

TEACHER:
So - does anybody have any ideas on Shakespeares meaning behind the character of 'the Porter' in this scene?

[A voice comes from off-scene, behind the teacher's back[. 

VOICE:

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

TEACHER [turning round]:
Sorry….. who are you?

[We see a wider scene that shows it is the GHOST OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, hovering over the heads of the startled students]

SHAKESPEARE:
I'm the Ghost of Shakespeare and I've come back to say: this scene means *absolutely nothing*.

The Porter is a funny drunk bloke I lobbed in to cover a costume change!

I mean like, not everything I did was genius OK? Stop giving me the ick.

TEACHER:
So um...what do you suggest we study?

SHAKESPEARE:
The most important text in British culture!

TEACHER:
Which is...?

SHAKESPEARE:
'Bollocks People Say on the Internet.'

TEACHER:
You think we should study... bollocks people say on the internet?

SHAKESPEARE:
Yes.

TEACHER:
But Mr Shakespeare... your Porter scene was a question in a past GCSE paper...
We need to analyse it so the kids don't end up failing their exams...


SHAKESPEARE:
Yes, and I'm just suggesting you should analyse Bollocks People Say on the Internet instead, so they don't end up painting flags on roundabouts.

[Silent pause]

TEACHER:
OK class - open up your phones to X...

[ends]

At least all the improv helps mask how hideous they are. Manly hearts to guard the fair, indeed.
