David Milroy discusses the development of 'Indigenous theatre' in Australia, seeing a current tendency to 'catch up' theatre, re-writing history from the Indigenous people's point of view. He sees the Yirra Yaakin company as setting the stage for a new understanding of Indigenous theatre, unshackled by the expectations of the past.
