About this title

Review:

National media on Stones in His Pockets...

Sad, hilarious and irresistible. --Sunday Times

A wonderfully enjoyable evening. --Independent

Five Stars. I laughed till I cried...An unalloyed source of joy, laughter, tears and delight... Marie Jones's script digs deep and dark while giving us two hours of serious pleasure. --Daily Mail

Jones builds an astonishingly complete, acute, funny and humane picture - a complete theatrical tour de force - hilarious, loveable and at times even breathtaking. --Scotsman

It is clearly magical, this comedy by Belfast writer Marie Jones, dealing as it does with myths, memories, class and sex, with two actors who create a whole world on stage. The play itself not only sends up the delirious fantasy of film, it becomes a moving and heartfelt tribute to the imaginative power of live performance. --Guardian

If there is a more cleverly constructed, enterprisingly acted play on offer in London right now, I cannot think of it. --The Times
