*Due to popular demand, the Irish Theatre Group has added two more dates for its production of 'Stones in his Pockets' in March.*
The Irish Theatre Group is pleased to present its spring production, Stones in his Pockets, by Marie Jones.

About the play:
Author: Marie Jones
Director: Csaba Bartos
Featuring: Jody Quirke and Paul Musiol
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.
Born in Belfast in 1951, Marie Jones has written extensively for radio, television and the stage. She was founder member and Writer-in-Residence with Charabanc Theatre Company from 1983-1990 and went on to co-found Dubbeljoint Theatre Company in 1991.
