STONES IN HIS POCKETS
By Marie Jones
“Fascinating, moving and hilarious” – London Independent
Olivier Award Winner! Enjoyed long runs in London’s West End and on Broadway.
The play is a tragicomedy about a small rural town in Ireland where many of the townspeople are extras in the making of a Hollywood film. The story centres on Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, who, like much of the town, are employed as extras.
The script calls upon the cast of two to perform all 15 characters (men and women), often switching gender and voice swiftly and with minimal costume change – a hat here, a jacket there. Comedy also derives from the efforts of the production crew to create the proper “Irish feel” – a romanticised ideal that often conflicts with the reality of daily life.
Marie Jones has the special gift of making us laugh and then making us feel guilty seconds later, for doing so.
Critics:
”Sad, hilarious and irresistible” – London Evening Standard
“Clearly magical” – The Guardian
“Marie Jones is very funny and her observations of the hectic compression of a film set are dead on” – Vanity Fair
