SIMON DODD is a professional screen writer and the recipient of ten Australian Writers’ Guild Awards (AWGIES) as part of the writing team behind such successful TV series as Good News Week and The Glass House.

Over the years he has played a hand in making humorous heavyweights such as Andrew Denton, Doug Mulray, Paul McDermott, Wil Anderson and Amanda Keller appear even funnier than they would have otherwise.

Professional, creative, versatile and collaborative, Simon has successfully written for television, radio, magazines, newspapers, books, the theatre – as well as corporate projects and advertising.

Simon has also written scripts for a number of TV animation series including Alien TV, The Flamin’ Thongs, Spongo, Fuzz and Jalapeña and Kangaroo Beach.

PLAYTHING by Simon Dodd

We acknowledge that we live and create on unceded lands. We pay our respects to the First Peoples of Australia, and to their elders past, present and future.
