    Has anyone seen Stones in his Pockets? It's a play about a hollywood film company shooting a film in a small town in Ireland. I cant remember who wrote it, but whats so great about it is the whole things acted by just two guys who play over 15 characters(male and female!) between them!
    I dont thing it's always set in Ireland, depending on where its performed so its not always the same actors either, but my auntie and uncle saw it in London and said it was just as funny there! I saw it in the millenium forum in Derry and it was hilarious, serious story to it as well though,anyone who's seen it knows what the title's about, so anyone who has seen it, what did you think?

    Saw it in London, about 2 years ago.
    It was set in Ireland then too.

    Really very good, recommended.
    Probably depends on the actors doing it though

    I saw it recently enough in the civic theatre Tallagh. I thought it was very good. "A Night in November" by the same playwrite is very good too.

    saw it last year in the gaiety and thought it was excellent, very good play. funny and moving by parts, well worth a look if you see it. If im not mistaken it was on not so long ago in Dublin again.

    I saw it in Galway last week in the Twon Hall theatre - very enjoyable. The two actors were great. It played all week and I think it was sold out every night.
