Stones in His Pockets by Marie Jones at The Everyman

Lights! Camera! Action! HOLLYWOOD is coming to The Everyman… But what happens when two Irish extras become the stars?

An authentic rediscovery of the worldwide hit, Stones in His Pockets captures the magic of the original with stunning new stagecraft. Set in rural Ireland, a small village is turned upside down by the arrival of a Hollywood studio to film the latest historic blockbuster.

Told through the eyes of local lads Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, who are employed as extras, it soon becomes clear that Tinseltown’s romanticised dream of Ireland is a long way from reality…

Directed by Matthew McElhinney, son of the playwright and original director, this production brings a fresh take on the often hysterically funny, thought-provoking and witty comedy, the original of which has won numerous awards including both the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best New Comedy, as well as three Tony nominations on Broadway. Stones in His Pockets ran for four years in the West End and has delighted audiences around the world.
