STONES IN HIS POCKETS: TWO ACTORS, 15 CHARACTERS, BEER and DANCING!









Only once in a blue moon do we shill for personal gain on BrothersMcC.

This is one of those times.

On Thursday June 19th — STONES IN HIS POCKETS, the acclaimed play by Irish playwright Marie Jones opens at Madlab Theatre in Columbus, OH.

The play stars myself and the very talented Jon Osbeck. It is directed by the wonderful Jimmy Bohr.

It is the first theater effort from Carrickmacross Productions — the company my wife Lisa and I have started.


Jon and I portray 15 characters in the play, which won London's Olivier Award and was a hit on Broadway in 2001. It chronicles the making of a Hollywood movie in a small Irish village, where most of the locals have been hired as extras. Two of the extras, Jake Quinn and Charlie Conlon, become friends and try to further their fledgling careers during the filming. Along the way, Jones explores the tensions that arise between the film crew and the village residents.

We each play women, there will be beer available for the patrons and there's even an Irish wake with dancing. What more do you need, for the love of Jaysus!?
