A PLAY which was nominated for Tony Awards on Broadway and for four-and-a-half years in the West End is coming to Poole.

Stones in His Pockets, the multi award-winning comedy by Irish writer Marie Jones, returns to UK theatres from September for a nationwide tour with director Ian McElhinney at the helm.

It will be performed at Poole Lighthouse on Friday, September 19.

Stones in His Pockets tells a hilarious and moving tale of a quiet Irish community, turned upside down by the arrival of a massive Hollywood movie shoot.

The play is brought to life by two talented actors Conor Delaney and Stephen Jones, who play 15 characters between them – from the cheeky lads intent on stardom to a Hollywood Goddess.

Marie Jones is an award-winning Irish writer whose other credits include Women on the Verge of HRT, A Night in November, Dancing Shoes and Fly Me to the Moon.

Marie also works as an actor and played Sarah Conlon in the Jim Sheridan film, In The Name of the Father.

Ian McElhinney is an award-winning director and actor whose film and TV credits include Game of Thrones, Michael Collins, Moonfleet, and Ripper Street.

Conor Delaney who plays Jake has a broad range of theatre, film and television roles to his credit including Game of Thrones, Jack Taylor and The Tudors.

Stephen Jones who takes on the role of Charlie is an actor, writer and a director with a solid body of theatre, film and television work including the BBC’s Ripper Street.
