STONES in His Pockets, the multi-award-winning comedy by Irish writer Marie Jones, comes to Theatre Royal Winchester tonight.

It also plays and Lighthouse, Poole on Friday as part of a nationwide tour with original director Ian McElhinney – now starring in the critically acclaimed Game of Thrones, at the helm.

The tour follows its Tony Award-nominated run on Broadway and four and a half years in the West End.

Already seen by more than two million people, Stones in His Pockets tells a hilarious and moving tale of a quiet Irish community, turned upside down by the arrival of a massive Hollywood movie shoot.

Universally loved by all who see it, the show is brought to life by two talented actors Conor Delaney (Game of Thrones, Jack Taylor, The Tudors) and Stephen Jones (Ripper Street) who play 15 characters between them – from the cheeky lads intent on stardom to a Hollywood Goddess!

Marie Jones, is an award-winning Irish writer whose other credits include Women on the Verge of HRT, A Night in November and Fly Me to the Moon. Marie also works as an actor and played Sarah Conlon in the Jim Sheridan film, In The Name of the Father.

Conor Delaney said: “I think the show is popular with audiences because people always love a good story. In a time of instant multimedia it’s refreshing that people can come to the theatre, switch off their devices and sit back to enjoy storytelling in its purest form. Watching two actors play multiple characters is something that audiences particularly enjoy.

"It’s a real rollercoaster of a show and a joy to be a part of. “
