About Stones in his Pockets

Hilarious, thought-provoking and darkly funny comedy.

Lights Camera Action! Hollywood is coming to the Octagon…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 production brings a fresh take on this hysterically funny, thought-provoking and witty award-winning comedy.
