AusStage has some good information about many of the plays Lawford was in especially over the past few years. --~~.

Will go to the theatres concerned too like Black Swan Theatre for Uncle Vanya and Yirra Yaakin Noongar Theatre - a few months ago [May] I looked at lots of Noongar literature and Noongar theatre. --Bronwyn Gannan (talk) 08:18, 14 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Further to Walkabout - I learnt that this 2002 production was actually *two* works - *Rush* by Stephen Page (the man who ran Bangarra until very recently) - the other was *Rations* by Frances Rings. It toured the east coast of Australia - Victoria New South Wales and Queensland. NLW played a big role in both of those productions. ^[1] until I can find a better one.

(we don't have anything about the *Long-Forgotten Dream* as far as I can see).

Sydney Theatre Company: ^[3]

And it does confirm she died at the Edinburgh Festival 2019. :=(.--Bronwyn Gannan (talk)
