In the Olivier Award-Winning Stones in His Pocket, a big budget Hollywood film descends upon a small village in County Kerry, Ireland, and two down-on-their-luck locals (Jake and Charlie) get the chance of a lifetime, playing extras. But can they go from milking cows to living high on the hog? Andrew Friedman and Jerry Richardson play 15 roles in this hilarious, dark and poignant look at the complicated relationship between Tinseltown and its subjects. Witty banter blends with self-doubt and frustration as Jake and Charlie try to find a sense of reality in a world where glitz, glamour and easy money are only temporary.

Matthew Leavitt's Hit Comedy The Boomerang Effect

Full Price:
$20.00 - $25.00
Our Price:
$10.00 - $12.50

Beloved writer/director/producer Del Shores and award-winning director Dámaso Rodriguez present the return of playwright Matthew Leavitt's hit The Boomerang Effect. This saucy comedy takes an academic term for cause-and-effect -- the boomerang effect -- and applies it to romantic relationships. Leavitt peeks into the bedrooms of five couples, uncovering a chain of well-intentioned and hilarious disasters. Matthew Leavitt was a semifinalist in Stephen Sondheim's Young Playwrights Festival National Playwriting Competition, with his first work called Losers and Fools. The Boomerang Effect marks his return to playwriting after focusing on adapting Shakespeare's comedies. Learn More

2 actors brilliantly portray a town, a film crew, a country, and a people. It was a couple of times difficult to tell who a particular actor was playing they go so fast between characters but that is more my problem for not paying close enough attention. Both these guys do their work wonderfully.

Two amazing talents bring to life nearly a dozen characters in a comical and introspective play about the workings of the industry when Hollywood goes overseas to film a production.
