The Irish are renowned for good story telling. From James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and George Bernard Shaw, to simply a good yarn over a pint in a pub. In a long line of cracking good tales, you couldn't get much better than the new immersive revival of Marie Jones' tragicomedy Stones in His Pockets.

The cast has been announced for The Barn Theatre's 25th Anniversary production of Stones in His Pockets, the co-production with Wiltshire Creative and Octagon Theatre, Bolton. 

The Barn Theatre have announced that their 25th anniversary production of Marie Jones' Olivier award-winning tragicomedy Stones in His Pockets will return to Cirencester this summer, in a co-production with Octagon Theatre Bolton and Wiltshire Creative.

Where Eagles Fly - The Musical tells timeless stories of courage and humanity, set against a backdrop of momentous historical events. Direct from Ireland, the musical makes its U.S. debut in Philadelphia.
