Michelle Law
Michelle Law is a proud Chinese Australian and one of our luminous playwrights, writers and actors across print, theatre, film and television. Michelle’s recent play, Miss Peony, which she describes as “a magic realist comedy”, is a celebration of the Chinese diaspora and completed a successful Australian tour to rave reviews.
As a playwright, she wrote the brilliantly funny Top Coat and Single Asian Female. Her screenwriting work includes Homecoming Queens (SBS) and the travel guide Asian Girls are Going Places, and she co-wrote the comedy book Sh*t Asian Mothers Say. A multi-award winner, she was named winner of the Arts & Culture category of the Most Influential Young Asian-Australians.
Michelle speaks out for intersectional feminism, cultural identity and race and wrote the documentary Suicide and Me (ABC2) to promote suicide prevention in Australia.
