Our Stones - Meet the 'Other' Director

It has become a bit of a running joke between Stones In His Pockets Team and myself that when I call and ask for the Director they ask me which one.  The show tells the story of a Hollywood Film Crew who have come a rural corner of County Kerry to film their latest Blockbuster - the Quiet Valley.  As the story unfolds we discover just how oblivious the film crew and their famous stars are to the lasting impact they are having on the village.

The film crew includes assistant directors and of course the film's director, Clem Curtis.  This week the cast sent me this update from Clem.  He shares an update on how filming is going and invites you to come and see him in action.


Opening night is now less than 3 weeks away and I really appreciate the continued access the Griffin Players have given me to Bekka Prideaux (the Play's Director), her cast Alex C Brewer and John O'Leary and the production team that support them.  It is an action packed few weeks for them and I am looking forward to next week's update.
