30th Anniversary Reading
Stones In His Pockets
Written by MARIE JONES
Marking 30 years of the show that took the world by storm, the classic Irish tragi-comedy about two Hollywood extras on a film set recieves a special anniversary reading with an outstanding cast of Live Theatre favourites.
Stones in His Pockets is a comedy with a poignant undercurrent, about a small rural town in Ireland where a Hollywood epic is being filmed. The story centres on Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, who, like much of the town, are employed as extras for the filming. After a tragic incident concerning a local teenager, Charlie and Jake assume responsibility for giving an account of events, taking on all the roles themselves.
A two-hander that delights in exploring the limits of comedy and theatricality, and the collision of romanticised notions of 'Irishness' and the harsher reality, Stones in His Pockets has delighted audiences around the world.
