DANGEROUS LENSES Comes to Vault Festival
Dangerous Lenses, by Brooke Robinson, directed by Melissa Dunne, and presented by Papercut Theatre, comes to VAULT Festival 2019, starring Grace Chilton.
Can you trust what you see from your window?
"Just a few weeks left. Make the most. See the most. Don't waste any time on black and white."
Ann is a recluse. She lives alone in a block of flats, addicted to watching her neighbours' lives. When a new tenant and his daughter move in, Ann looks on as usual. But when her new neighbour insists there is no little girl staying with him, Ann's curiosity turns to obsession. A dark fuzz keeps blurring her vision, which is rapidly deteriorating. Are her eyes just playing tricks or is an actual wrong being done across the way?
This resonant and powerful play explores a predicament that haunts us all; just how alone we can really be in the midst of this crowded city. From the offbeat brain of one of Australia's most exciting playwrights, Dangerous Lenses is a taut thriller that questions if you really can trust what you see.
