Twice upon a place

This article was originally presented as a keynote in the form of a performance poem at Evolve 2014, the Drama Australia national conference held in Hobart, Tasmania on 4 October, and subsequently revised for publication. It explores the relationship between drama, stories, time and place. We (the editors) offer it without a formal abstract since it expresses many ideas, imaginings and feelings interwoven poetically rather than in the structural form more usual in academic journals.
