Stones in His Pockets - Madhouse Company

2nd May 2011 / 7 p.m.


The brilliantly written two-hander was a sell-out success when the guys first performed it at the Merlin several years ago. Mike Kelly and Matt Devere perform all fifteen parts in this tragicomic story of a Hollywood movie being shot in a small Irish village. Through family and friends Mike and Matt have strong Kerry connections, which is where the play is set, so it has a particularly strong resonance for them. The two actors play everything, from the leading lady right through to the young village boy who dreams of being „in the movies".

Director László Magács and Madhouse work together again on this multi-award winning classic.

Performed by: Matt Devere and Mike Kelly
Directed by: László Magács
