The Beauty Queen Of Leenane: Ray Dooley’s Swingball Set

Ray Dooley’s parents gave him a swingball set for Christmas in 1979, he only got two oul months play out it before Maureen Folan confiscated it from him and left it to “fade to fecking skitter” on a window sill for ten years.

A conceptual strobist promo shot taken on the Watergate stage, Ray Dooley’s beloved swingball sits on the Beauty Queen script. I’m actually holding my SB800 flash at the back of the auditorium in the Watergate, triggering the flash and camera by remote.
