Elizabeth Coleman first came to attention with her wonderfully dark comedy It’s My Party (And I’ll Die If I Want To) which premiered at the 1993 Melbourne Comedy Festival. Its success was eclipsed with the arrival of Secret Bridesmaids’ Business in 1999, which broke box office records in Melbourne before embarking on a triumphant national tour in 2000. It was later adapted into a telemovie produced by Lynda House for ABC Television. Recently a revival of Secret Bridesmaids’ Business was staged at the Arts Centre in Melbourne. Her comedy about love gone wrong, This Way Up, premiered in 2001 at Playbox Theatre in Melbourne.

Elizabeth has written several screenplays for television, including The Flying Doctors, GP, SeaChange, Police Rescue, Heartbreak High, Something in the Air, The Sectre Life of Us, Blue Heelers, All Saints and McLeod’s Daughters.

She has co-created and co-written a drama series entitled Bed of Roses for Southern Star and ABC Television.

Most recent television credits include Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries for the ABC, Reef Doctors for Channel 9 and Tricky Business for Channel 9. She has also just finished her new play, Almost With You.
