About the Show
A razor-sharp queer black comedy and drag-fuelled spectacle exploring power, privilege and high school politics.
It’s the night of the Grand Final of Melbourne’s most prestigious Year 12 Interschool Debating Tournament, and the elite all-boys team from St Imperium College are ready to crush their sister school rivals—until everything starts to unravel.
Performed entirely by a female and non-binary cast in drag, Trophy Boys unfolds in real time during the team’s one-hour prep session, as they’re forced to debate the motion: “Feminism has failed women.”
What follows is a wildly funny and biting satire on adolescent masculinity, entitlement, and the early grooming of Australia’s future power players.
Winner of Best New Work at the 2024 Sydney Theatre Awards and nominated for four Greenroom Awards including Best Production and Best New Writing, Trophy Boys is “truly a joy to watch” (Time Out).
Back in Melbourne after last year’s sell-out season—don’t miss this bold and brilliant return.
