Judge says no witness dishonest in Irish theatre wrangle

None of the witnesses called during a courtroom wrangle over authorship of the West End hit play Stones In His Pockets was “dishonest”, a British judge was told today.

Andrew Sutcliffe QC, counsel for award-winning playwright Marie Jones, who penned what has become one of Ireland’s most successful stage plays, made the submission during his closing address on what is expected to be the final day of the hearing.
