Stones In His Pockets

This play premiered in Belfast, Northern Ireland and was a runaway hit in London, where it won Best Comedy awards from The Evening Standard and the Olivier Award Committee. It opened to critical acclaim at the Golden Theatre in New York in 2001 and received three Tony nominations that year. Set in a small village in rural Ireland where a major Hollywood studio is making a mega-hit film, the play centers on two down and out Irishmen, happy to be making 40 pounds a day as extras. In an acting tour de force two actors take on many roles in rapid succession, easily moving from trendy movie moguls to slouching Irish underdogs. Stones moves with lightening quick precision, as two versatile actors portray a whole cast of characters in this humorous yet poignant tale.
