STONES IN HIS POCKETS

Two actors play 15 characters in one rollicking good comedy!

The hilarious and poignant story of an Irish Village turned upside down when a major Hollywood film studio descends to make a historical blockbuster on location.

The story is told through the eyes of Charlie Conlon who’s video shop in Ballycastle has gone bankrupt and Jake Quinn who has returned to Kerry after a futile few years in the US. In this wickedly funny tragicomedy, Jake and Charlie meet when working as extras for the healthy wage of forty quid a day.

Toss in a few lemon meringues and the opportunities to gawp at gorgeous self-absorbed stars and it seems as though life couldn’t get much better. Slowly the glamour wears off and real life takes over. When a tragedy happens that affects everyone in the small town, the movie machinery barely slows down, causing the two friends to rethink their priorities and what they want in life. They decide to take things into their own hands and tell their own stories

Hysterically funny, thought-provoking and witty, this wonderful comedy has won numerous awards including both the Olivier and three Tony nominations on Broadway.
