Tear From a Glass Eye
By Matt Cameron
27 May 1998 – 20 June 1998 Beckett Theatre
Playbox Theatre Company,
New Writing Theatre World Premiere
Titus is found unconscious and sunburnt in a desert with no identification and no memory. The same day, a burned woman waits at the beach for a plane to explode overhead and fall into the sea. Titus is listed as a passenger on the flight. Tear from a Glass Eye is an absurd tale of random fate, the inevitable crash and human debris.
“HOW REWARDING TO RUMMAGE THROUGH MATT CAMERON’S MIND. WHAT A FIND. A TRUE ORIGINAL. DIG IN AND EXPLORE THE TORTUOUS PATHS OF HIS THOUGHT PROCESSES. DEFINITELY AN INTEREST IN SURREALISM, ECHOES OF PLAYWRIGHTS OF THE ABSURD MOVEMENT, YES. BUT THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE. A VERY 1990’S FASCINATION WITH THE VIOLATION OF PERSONAL SPACE, THE FEAR OF COMMITMENT AND WARINESS TOWARDS ALL INTIMATE CONNECTIONS… ENTERTAINING, QUIZZICALLY PHILOSOPHICAL AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING.”
