Mull Theatre Company

Comar presents a Mull Theatre production Stones In His Pockets.
Written by Marie Jones; Directed by Alasdair McCrone

County Kerry, Ireland. A rural community is turned upside down by the arrival of an American film crew on location to capture real Ireland for their latest Hollywood blockbuster.

When locals Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn are employed as extras for the film, they, like the rest of the village, struggle to present the Americans’ romanticised Ireland, a stark contrast to the reality of daily life.

From the local lads intent on being stars, to the film’s American lead actress, whose Irish accent leaves a lot to be desired; two actors portray a multitude of characters in this hilarious yet poignant updated production of Marie Jones’ hit play.

The hugely successful comedy was a Fringe hit, had a phenomenal West End run, won an Olivier Awards for Best New Comedy, and was nominated for three Tony Awards.
