Helen Lunn
Children’s Author, Playwright, Director, Performer
Helen works around Australia as a writer, director and performer.

Helen has also written for Patch Theatre in Adelaide and Company Skylark in Canberra. Digger’s Mate was published as a Picture Book (Silver Gum Press) and illustrated by the acclaimed Australian Artist, Clifton Pugh.
Helen wrote three children’s Picture Books for the Royal Children’s Hospital Safety Centre in Melbourne.
