Verity Laughton (born 1952) is a South Australian writer, editor, and playwright.
[1] Laughton was awarded a PhD by Flinders University for her thesis "Depicting the Gorgon: the making of theatre about historic-political trauma".
The Mourning After, which premiered in 1996 directed by Tony Sheldon and starring Nancye Hayes, was described as "a compelling theatrical experience".
It premiered at the 2009 Sydney Festival at the Riverside Theatres Parramatta and was considered "a vividly memorable creation".
[8][9] The production was described as "a very clever realisation...and gives great power to key moments of this epic story".
