Stones in His Pockets

Lights! Camera! Action!! HOLLYWOOD is coming to the Barn Theatre... but what happens when two Irish extras become the stars?!

Set in rural Ireland, a small village is turned upside down by the arrival of a Hollywood studio to film the latest historical 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 play’s writer and original director, this new 25th anniversary production of Marie Jones’ tragicomedy, Stones in His Pockets, brings an authentic rediscovery of the worldwide phenomenon, 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.

A guaranteed feel-good night out (and we even here there’s a showstopping Irish dance number!). Stones in His Pockets runs from 27 July – 22 August 2021, tickets are now on sale from £11.50 at barntheatre.org.uk or by calling 01285 648255.
