Take. Eat, a play that explores body image and disordered eating, grew out of the writing residency Susan held with Why Weight? in Australia. It is set inside the stomach of a woman and the characters include enzymes and partly-digested items of food, as well as Hunger Pang and Guilt Pang, between whom the central battle of the play takes place. Take. Eat was performed in theatres, community centres and schools in both Adelaide and Tasmania.

How was It For You?, an educational comedy about sexuality, was also performed in Adelaide, by Unley Youth Theatre. It received a rehearsed reading, too, at the Robert Gill Theatre in Toronto.

Susan won the Daily Express/Classic FM Woman of Tomorrow Arts Award and was a finalist in the Cosmopolitan Achievement Award in recognition of her playwriting and educational theatre work.

The great thing about Susan is her keenness and creativity - Woman of Tomorrow judge, Kiki McDonough
