Krudttønden

Stones in His Pockets

This award-winning tragicomedy and fast-paced two-hander captures 15 characters from excitement to fading glamour. Jake and Charlie are thirty-somethings who meet when working as extras on a big American movie being shot in Ireland. Charlie's video shop in Ballycastle has gone bankrupt and Jake has returned to Kerry after a futile few years in the US. The movie is a wonderful break from worrying about their futures, until the harsh realities of rural life break through. STONES IN HIS POCKETS has won numerous awards including both the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best New Comedy, as well as three Tony nominations on Broadway. It ran for four years in the West End.
