Stephen Belber’s 2014 film adaptation of his original 2004 Broadway play MATCH, sees veteran actor Sir Patrick Stewart gain critical-acclaim for his powerful flamboyant performance reminiscent of his famous first gay character “Jeffrey”, as he takes the lead as fast-talking and witty Juilliard dance teacher, Tobi.
