Enter Porter is about being drunk and in love. Since its title references a speech in Macbeth that essentially tells the story of this List's life, I am going to take this opportunity to quote that speech in full:

Macduff: What three things does drink especially provoke?

Porter: Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance; therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to, and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.

Theater Immaterial is an audioplay masquerading as a guided meditation. It does not appear to tell the story of this List's life.
