MTC’s The Joy of Text
Literary theory may seem harmless, but mixed with Danny, a precocious high school student, the result is not deconstruction but sheer devastation. When a controversial book falls into his hands, he creates his own meta-narrative. As his actions send the school into chaos, he learns that, although the author is dead and meaning lacks foundation, the real world has no time for irony. Set against a backdrop of staffroom politics, Melbourne writer Robert Reid’s mainstage debut for MTC dissects education and its discontents.
