Aisling Ghéar's 'Stones in his Pockets' is back on the road! This is the award-winning, hilarious and sometimes poignant tale of a quiet Irish community and the change wrought by the arrival of a massive Hollywood movie shoot. Universally loved by all who see it, the entire story is brought to life by two hugely talented actors – Jack Walsh of ‘Killinaskully’ fame and Tony Devlin currently starring in ‘Seacht’, who play a staggering 15 characters between them in a triumph of characterization and physical comedy.
