Marie Jones (center) celebrated the April 1 opening of her new play Stones in His Pockets with her stars (far left) Conleth Hill and Sean Campion (far right) and filmdom's Gabriel Byrne, who appeared on Broadway last season in A Moon for the Misbegotten.
Stones in His Pockets is seen through the perspective of Charlie and Jack, two down-on-their luck Irishmen (played by Hill and Campion) working as extras on a Hollywood film being shot in the Irish countryside. The close-knit rural community around them is uprooted and in some ways destroyed by the arrival of the Hollywood cast and crew. Among the characters Hill and Campion portray are Caroline Giovanni, the spoiled and horny American diva; Mickey, the last remaining extra from "The Quiet Man"; and Clem, the hunchbacked director.
