Stones in His Pockets is about Charlie and Jake, who get jobs as extras on a big movie set that’s running amok in a small Irish town. The two-hander sees the actors playing Charlie and Jake also take on a myriad of the other characters who make up part of the film crew and the town.
StonesIn His Pockets opens at The Gladstone Theatre on Friday September 7th, 2012 and runs until September 29th. The play stars Zach Counsil and Richard Gélinas. It was written by Irish playwright Marie Jones and is directed in this production by John P. Kelly of SevenThirty Productions. Tickets for the show can be purchased online or at the door for $39 (tax inc.) with discounted prices for artists, students and seniors. To buy tickets or for detailed show info, please visit The Gladstone’s website.
