In 2017, Michelle Law’s play Single Asian Female shook up the Australian theatre industry. That wildly successful production, about a Chinese Australian woman and her two daughters, went on to run for five years around Australia and New Zealand. Since then, Law has penned two more plays – the latest of which is Miss Peony, a trilingual dive into the world of beauty pageants. Law wrote and stars in the play, which premieres at Sydney’s Belvoir St theatre in July before heading around the country.
Off-stage, Law has co-created the streaming series Homecoming Queens, about two best friends – one with cancer, the other alopecia. Here, the writer tells us about her own experience with alopecia areata, as well as the stories of other important personal belongings.
