Description "The narrative of The Dreamers is focused on three generations of a contemporary Noongar family, the Wallitches. Uncle Worru, an elderly relative, has come home from hospital to die with his family. Worru links the past and the present through his stories and physicalises the alienation between the past and the present when he loses touch with reality and locks into moments and events from the past." Casey, Maryrose. Creating Frames: Contemporary Indigenous Theatre 1967-1997. St Lucia: UQP 2004. pg 143.
