title = "{\textquoteleft}At Me Too Someone is Looking{\textquoteright}: Staging Surveillance in Irish Theatre",
abstract = "This chapter argues that Samuel Beckett{\textquoteright}s plays function as a kind of fulcrum in a theatrical history of staging and thematising surveillance, and extends this history from Dion Boucicault and Augusta Gregory to Enda Walsh and David Lloyd. Surveillance agencies rely heavily on technology to gather information, but depend on human beings to store, order, and interpret it. {\textquoteleft}At Me Too Someone is Looking{\textquoteright} demonstrates that dramatic narratives exploit inconsistencies and injustices arising from slippages between data and its application.
