Jumble: TCD Graduate Spotlight, Aoife Leonard & The Fast Food Collective

 

 

 

MADE UP, written by Aoife Leonard and produced by the Fast Food Collective, completed its most recent performance at Electric Picnic this summer, after being performed at a number of different festivals in Ireland over the past few years. The show first debuted at Players Theatre in 2014 before travelling to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer where it was performed at Underbelly Theatre, after raising money via Fundit and receiving a grant from the Trinity College Alumni Fund, one of the first shows to be supported by this grant. MADE UP combines spoken word, comedy and physical theatre to tell four interwoven accounts of one eventful night out in Dublin, and draws its influence from playback theatre, the Dublin spoken word scene and real experiences of Dublin’s nightlife. The show has adapted and reconfigured itself to suit all manner of audiences from students to critics to festival-goers, and is performed each time with an irresistible energy and boldness that has carried it successfully through the past two years of its various runs.
