Stones in your pocket

Irish playwright Marie Jones' play Stones in the Pocket is a narrative firework filled with both humor and depth. Two actors share fifteen roles in a story about the rift between city and countryside and about how high-flying dreams collide with the harsh reality of everyday life.

Two unemployed, younger middle-aged men live in a village in Norrbotten. They are hobbling along as extras on a movie set. The actors - the stars - are flown in from the south to film their outdoor scenes in the dramatic landscape, while the villagers act as local color.

In our story, however, it is the extras who play the main role and we follow their search for a decent income, love, dignity and a meaningful life.

Tobias Aspelin and Erik Kaa Hedberg take on this masterpiece of acting and we can promise that it will be a warm and audience-oriented performance with great drama in a small space.
