She lived in the UK from 1971 to 1975 and later returned South Australia, living on a farm at Currency Creek, raising beef cattle and making furniture.

Brookman's first play, 'Mr Rumble's Jumble', was performed at Come Out, 1979. After that, she wrote or co -wrote over 20 plays, many of which have been produced by professional theatre companies in South Australia including Troupe, Vitalstatistix, Patch, Junction and the Adelaide Festival Centre Trust.
