Kiviä taskussa - Stones in his pocket

Theatre evening! 

Stones in His Pockets is a two-hander written in 1996 by Marie Jones for the DubbleJoint Theatre Company in Dublin, Ireland.

It is a tragicomedy about a small rural town in Ireland where many of the townspeople are extras in a Hollywood film. The story centres are Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, who, like much of the town, are employed as extras for the filming.... It really showed so clearly the production happenings, so funny - and on the other hand so tragic story. A lot to think. And laugh. Black humor too.

The play was first shown in Belfast in 1996 and went on to The Edinburgh Festival fringe and to have a successful run in London's West End. The original cast of Conleth Hill and Sean Campion later took the show to Broadway. Having won the Irish Times/ESB Irish Theatre Award for Best Production in 1999, the play also won two Olivier Awards in 2001 for Best New Comedy and Best Actor (Conleth Hill).

In Finland actor virtuoses Martti Suosalo and Mika Nuojua are both brilliant on the Roles. They have been acting this play since 2002, and it is hard to get tickets to this play. 

Nice time with hubby!
