Behind the scenes of Match

Rehearsals for Match started on the 29th of April 2017 and continued until July 21st 2017 followed by five performances from the 26th to the 30th of July at the Mechanic’s Institute during the Galway Fringe Festival. 

A dynamic team of seven Hazel Doolan, Rena Bryson, Hazel Stanley, Pamela Devany, Elizabeth Flaherty, Killian Glynn and Cathal Ryan created a lively comedy which would win them the Galway Fringe Best Emerging Artists Award.

As rehearsals continue emphasis on character work through exercises provided by director Hazel Doolan result in colourful, bright and theatrical characters filling the rehearsal space.

The world of the play developed quickly as Hazel Stanley’s design brought a new life to the production.

As rehearsals progressed director Hazel Doolan embraced the theatrical elements of this Comedy and created a stylised chase scene which would lead to two actors Rena Bryson and Killian Glynn running through the audience. She also added a dance/striptease that was not originally in the script.
