Sumner Locke Elliott (17 October 1917 – 24 June 1991) was an Australian (later American) novelist and playwright.
Biography [ edit ]
Elliott was born in Sydney to the writer Sumner Locke and the journalist Henry Logan Elliott. His mother died of eclampsia one day after his birth.[1] Careful, He Might Hear You Cranbrook School in Bellevue Hill, Sydney.
World War II [ edit ]
Elliott became an actor and writer with the Doris Fitton 's The Independent Theatre Ltd. He was drafted into the Australian Army in 1942, but instead of being posted overseas, he worked as a clerk in Australia. He used these experiences as the inspiration for his controversial play, Rusty Bugles [2]
However, Rusty Bugles' place in the history of Australian theatre rests on more than notoriety. Mac is a memorable character in the play, and in the first production, Frank O'Donnell transformed audiences' understanding of the typical Australian 'bludger' or 'scrounger'. To the men in his unit, he appeared a winner even when he was losing, but with the discovery of his wife's infidelity, his fragility becomes apparent.[3]
Television [ edit ]
Elliott moved to the United States in 1948, where he ranked in the pantheon of leading playwrights during the Golden Age of live television dramas, writing more than 30 original plays and numerous adaptations for such shows as The Philco Television Playhouse Kraft Television Theatre Studio One Playhouse 90 Buy Me Blue Ribbons , which had a short run on Broadway.[4]
In 1955, he obtained United States citizenship and did not return to Australia until 1974.[3] The Grey Nurse Said Nothing [5]
Elliott's best known novel, Careful, He Might Hear You Miles Franklin Award and was turned into a film in 1983.
Private life [ edit ]
As a gay man during a time when this was socially disapproved of, Elliott was uncomfortable with his sexuality. He kept it secret until nearly the end of his life before coming out in his book Fairyland . Because of these fears, Elliott had affairs but never had any stable relationships.[6]
He died of colon cancer aged 73 in New York City in 1991.
