When Hollywood overruns a rural Irish village, the
culture clash between the arrogant cast and crew,
and underemployed Irish locals is inevitable, and
inevitably hilarious.
In this tongue-in-cheek comedy two actors
portray over 13 characters amidst a film production
of “The Quiet Valley”. While using the townsfolk
as extras, the bigwig studio attempts to exploit
the authenticity of the local people and landscape.
All the while missing out on the unheard, real life
stories behind the small timers with big dreams.
When tragedy intervenes, the community begins
to reassess the shallow nature of film and
Hollywood style fantasies.
Witty, funny, but sparked with surprising touches
of real poignancy, the award-winning Stones In
His Pockets is terrific contemporary Irish theatre.
Audience Advice:
STONES IN HIS POCKETS contains the use of some strong adult language
