Photo Flash: First Look at STONES IN HIS POCKETS

Theatre Royal Bath Productions and Rose Theatre Productions today release production images for Stones in His Pockets, the Olivier award-winning comedy from Marie Jones. Directed by Lindsay Posner, one of the UK's most renowned directors of comedy, the new production and tour stars Owen Sharpe and Kevin Trainor who take on a multitude of characters in the hysterically funny and thought-provoking play. Stones in His Pockets is currently in previews at Rose Theatre, Kingston until 9 March and will run at Theatre Royal Bath from 11 to 16 March, with opening night for press on 13 March.

Stones in His Pockets has won numerous awards including the Olivier and Evening Standard Award for Best New Comedy, as well as three Tony nominations on Broadway. The play ran for four years in the West End and has since been performed around the world.

Following Bath, the production will tour to Liverpool, Southampton, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Malvern, Mold, Eastbourne, Cambridge, Cardiff, Guildford and Nottingham through to July 2019.

A small village in rural Ireland is turned upside down when a major Hollywood film studio descends to make a historical blockbuster on location. Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn are employed as extras along with numerous other locals. As cultures clash, it becomes clear that Tinseltown's romanticised dream of Ireland is a long, long way from reality. Just two talented actors brilliantly bring to life a multitude of extraordinary characters, ranging from the spoilt American starlet to the English director and the village old timer.
