Someone’s Knockin’ at the Door

Produced by A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Òran Mór, co-presented with Aberdeen Performing Arts and Traverse Theatre

Written by Milly Sweeney

Directed by Sally Reid

A nostalgia-filled comedy-drama about a bickering couple on a mission to meet their idol, Paul McCartney.

In 1976, Jack and Kathy set out on a mission to find Paul McCartney’s house on the Mull of Kintyre, where he was living off-grid after The Beatles broke up. 

Now, fifty years later, they are telling their granddaughter the full story of what really happened.

Did they ever get to meet their idol? Did their relationship survive? And most importantly, why did the Fab Four break up?

Inspired by a true story, Someone’s Knockin’ at the Door is a witty comedy-drama by Milly Sweeney (Best Writer – The Stage Debut Awards 2025 for Water Colour at Pitlochry Festival Theatre) about family, memory, music, and chancing your luck.
