Stolen premiered in 1998 and has since had seven annual seasons in Melbourne, as well as tours to Sydney, Adelaide, regional Victoria, Tasmania, the UK (twice), Hong Kong, and Tokyo. It has also had readings in Canada and New York. Harrison was a co-winner of the Kate Challis RAKA Award for Stolen. The play is studied on the VCE English and NSW HSC syllabi.
Her play On a Park Bench was workshopped at Playbox and the Banff Playrites Colony, and was a finalist in the Lake Macquarie Drama Prize. Rainbow’s End premiered in 2005 at the Melbourne Museum, toured to Mooroopna, and was scheduled to tour to Japan in 2007. Harrison won the 2006 Theatrelab Indigenous Award for her play Blakvelvet.
