He was born in Rotorua, and attended Southland Boys' High School and then the University of Otago and Victoria University of Wellington. In 1969 he won the Katherine Mansfield Young Writers Award, and in 1974 travelled to New York City on an Arts Council travel bursary, where he lived until returning in 1987 to take up the Robert Burns Fellowship in Dunedin. He was involved with several New Zealand theatres, Mercury Theatre, Auckland (writer-in-residence 1974); Circa Theatre and Downstage Theatre, Wellington; and Fortune Theatre, Dunedin (writer-in-residence 1990). His first full-length play was It Isn’t Cricket (1971), then Meeting Place (1972) Well Hung (1974), Heroes and Butterflies (1974), Glitter and Spit (1975) High as a Kite and Balance of Payments (1978), Country Cops (a revision of Well Hung, 1985) and The Affair (1987). Unfamiliar Steps (1983) was later called Bert and Maisie, and was adapted for television in 1988. His Joyful and Triumphant toured in Australia in 1992 after his death from cancer;[1] it tells the Bishop family story over 40 years in a series of Christmas Day scenes. He also wrote one-act plays, radio plays and screenplays. His plays have been produced or published in New Zealand, Australia and the United States. He died in 1992 (aged 46) from HIV/AIDS complications.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |url= |title= New Zealand playwright dies of cancer |newspaper= Otago Daily Times |first = |last= |date= 1992-08-01 }} 2. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.playmarket.org.nz/playwrights/robert-lord |title= Robert Lord |publisher= Playmarket |date=27 October 2015}}
