Theatre review: Matched

Money, marriage and the battle of the sexes are the main themes in Matched, an adaptation by Ger Fitzgibbon of Chekov’s comedies, The Proposal and Bear. The Russian playwright isn’t known for frivolity and claimed to care not a whit for these ‘farce-vaudevilles’. But Fitzgibbon, who also directs the play, and his excellent cast, have created an extremely entertaining piece.
