1 7 y separately published work icon Poor Boy Matt Cameron , Tim Finn (composer), 2009 Strawberry Hills : Currency Press Melbourne Theatre Company , 2009 Z1529165 2009 single work drama

'It's Jem Glass' seventh birthday. The cake is made, the party is about to start. But something's wrong. Jem has been fainting, he thinks there is a man in his radio and he is about to shock the rest of the family with a startling announcement.

'A black cloud hangs over the Prior family home. Danny, the eldest son, was killed by a car seven years ago and the burden of grief borne by his widow and his mother has failed to diminish over time. All they have left are memories and prayers.

'That is until Jem arrives at their house, claiming that he is Danny reborn.

'As the lives of these two fractured families are flung together, the gripping mystery begins to unravel.

'''Poor Boy' asks big questions about humanity and our place in the universe. What is a soul and if we have one, who owns it? What do we believe in? What is faith and how do we know when it is misplaced? The resulting family drama is at once incandescently comic and radiantly uplifting.

'From the pen of playwright Matt Cameron, 'Poor Boy' is inspired by an original idea and songs from the legendary Tim Finn.' (STC blurb, http://sydneytheatre.com.au/)

1 form y separately published work icon What I Wrote : Matt Cameron Matt Cameron , ( dir. Catherine Gough-Brady ) Canberra : Ronin Films , 2007 Z1469090 2007 single work film/TV

'An Australian playwright whose influences are suburbia, politics and rock music. His Ruby Moon delighted and shocked audiences. He holds a lens up to the ordinary and shows us how disturbing, how provocative it can be. Cameron talks about his themes of love, loss and the impossible and he shares his interest in comedy, his obsession with perfecting the text and his fascination with a kind of post-modern-absurdism.

'This title consists of a short filmed interview (approx 30 mins) with the playwright discussing his plays and writing methods; short "lesson starter" films about each play and about curriculum concerns; accessible and informed commentary; easy to use chapters and menus; teachers notes; the writer reading a passage from one of his plays.

'The writer discusses key literary figures; development of his ideas and themes; motivation of his characters; adaptation of the texts; dramaturgy and staging of his plays; social and historical context of his plays; inspirational sources for his plays; tips for young writers.' (Publisher's blurb)
