Lights! Camera! Action!! HOLLYWOOD is coming back to the Barn once again! The return of the 2021 smash hit STONES IN HIS POCKETS also went on a sellout transfer in 2022 to the Lyric Theatre in Belfast as part of a 25th anniversary celebration of the show. The new version re-opens at the Barn before going on a limited UK tour for 2024, followed by a major 2025 tour of the UK and Ireland.

What happens when two Irish extras become the stars?! The authentic rediscovery of the worldwide phenomenon, ‘Stones in His Pockets,’ will again capture the magic of the original production with the added thrill of new stagecraft.

Set in a rural Ireland, a small village is turned upside down by the arrival of a Hollywood studio to film the latest historical blockbuster. Told through the eyes of local lads Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, who are employed as extras, it soon becomes clear that Tinseltown’s romanticised dream of Ireland is a long way from reality…

Directed by Matthew McElhinney, son of the play’s writer and original director, this new production brings a fresh take on the often hysterically funny, thought-provoking and witty comedy. 

STONES IN HIS POCKETS has won numerous awards including both the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best New Comedy, as well as three Tony nominations on Broadway. Stones in his Pockets ran for four years in the West End and has delighted audiences around the world.
