In Edinburgh, the production was attended by the story's original author, Irvine Welsh, whose appreciation for the play led to its international publication in an omnibus of Irvine Welsh stage adaptations, entitled 4 Play, through Vintage/Random House UK. [3] In the Introduction of 4 Play Welsh had this to say about the play Ecstasy:
It is Welsh's first original play as his previous theatre pieces had been theatrical versions of his literary works, which had been adapted for the stage by other dramatists. It premiered in February 1998 at the West Yorkshire Playhouse , Leeds before embarking on an international tour.
Welsh himself wrote the screenplay and appears as a minor character in the film. All three sections are independent, but are linked by the setting of Edinburgh and the reappearance of incidental characters, in particular Maurice Roëves , who appears variously as an inebriated wedding guest, a figure in a dream, and a pub patron.
