About Lily
Lily Thomson is a playwright, performer and poet. In 2020, Lily wrote and performed an audio play, A Recorded Companion, for the Melbourne Fringe, winning the award for accessibility and inclusion that year.
In 2022, Lily was accepted into the TheatreWorks She Writes Programme where she was mentored by celebrated female voices in the Australian playwriting.
In 2023, Lily’s poems appeared in several installations with The Hunter Writers Centre at The Lighthouse Arts Gallery. Lily will be working towards her first chapbook of poems in a writers’ residency at the lighthouse in May.
In October Lily’s libretto, The Lullaby, with music composed by Hao Zhen, and workshopped with Opera Australia, will be performed at NIDA. A dark fairytale that asks would you succumb to the shadows in your nightmares if they came to life?
