When a Hollywood film crew invades a rural Irish town, the irony of their efforts to create the proper "Irish feel" takes a hilarious look at class, sex, and myths. Stones in His Pockets, a multi-award winner which ran for four years in London's West End, is told by Charlie and Jake, who, like much of the town, are employed as extras for the film. Taking on all 15 roles they tell a fast paced, delirious fantasy of film that becomes a tribute to the imaginative power of live performance.
This comedy contains some adult language and themes. Recommended for audiences age 13+. |

Quiet and unassuming Adam is changing in a major way, thanks to his new art student girlfriend. As their relationship develops, Evelyn encourages Adam to change in ways that surprise his friends, and becomes darker as her influence increases. Neil LaBute explores "How far would you go for love?" in this modern day retelling of the fall of man. The final, shocking exhibition challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas about art and love as Evelyn reveals her true intentions.
This comedy contains some adult language and themes. Recommended for audiences age 13+. |
