Stones in His Pockets

by Marie Jones MAINSTAGE SEASON SHOW - August 11-27, 2023

With just two actors playing over a dozen parts, Stones In His Pockets is a comedic yet tragic take on the effects of the Hollywood dream in a small Irish town. When a Hollywood film crew takes over a rural town in County Kerry, the townspeople are excited to be part of a major film. The glamour quickly wears off when a local teenager commits suicide by drowning with stones in his pockets after being humiliated by the movie’s star. Charlie Conlan and Jake Quinn, both local extras on the film, tell the story of the impact this movie set has upon the local community.
