THEATRE

By Marie Jones

Stones in His Pockets is THE HILARIOUS AND POIGNANT STORY OF A RURAL IRISH VILLAGE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN by the arrival of an American film crew. When Charlie and Jake are cast as extras in the movie, they discover that Hollywood’s romanticized Ireland stands in stark contrast to the reality of their daily lives. Winner of the 2001 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, the play features two actors taking on more than a dozen eccentric characters, from the film’s spoiled American starlet to the star-struck locals. Stones in His Pockets ran for more than three years in London’s West End and was nominated for three Tony Awards.
