2D and Other Plays is prefaced by an Introduction by Nicholas Tarling, a colleague of the late Eunice Hanger, paying tribute to her as a writer and as a person deeply concerned with developing and encouraging locally written drama. Her association with the Twelfth Night Theatre in Brisbane in its early days is well known. The verdict of time may well be that her greatest contribution to Australian theatre was the collection she made over the years of unpublished Australian playscripts, and manuscripts of those now published. This collection – the Hanger Collection – is now in the Fryer Library, University of Queensland. A list of the scripts in the collection is given in Appendix B of this volume.
