Researched, sourced, and antiqued Irish 1920s' styled stage properties for eight set stages of a pageant-style outdoor theatrical spectacle as part of the 2021 Galway International Arts Festival. Symbolic and strategic use of color in props served to distinguish between the setting of an Irish country house (greens, browns, and burgundy) as opposed to the posh British manner (blues, reds and white) as pivotal to the shows central themes of the Irish revolution.
