— Appears in: Independent Brisbane : Four Plays 2008; (p. 52-102) The Australian Play Bundle # 2 2013; 'Explores the many lives of P.L. Travers, the Queensland-born writer of Mary Poppins. Travers remade herself and her history countless times throughout her life. She was also an actress, a writer of erotic poetry, a journalist and a spiritualist. Before she was 'Disney-fied', Travers' Mary Poppins was a study in contradictions: comforting and threatening; conventional and peculiar; down to earth and literally out of this world. As contradictory as her heroine, Travers sought order via her spiritual practices, but lived her life in a way that propelled her from one extreme to another. Punctuated by the biographical details of Travers' life, this new work follows the transformation of memory and experience into story, inviting the audience into the surreal world of her imagination, at twilight, in the crack between day and night, where enchantment and magic and fairy tale characters come out to play.
