Join QPAC’s Theatre Waitlist to be one of the first to hear when Trophy Boys goes on sale!
Overview
A queer dark comedy about power, privilege ... and debating
It is the biggest night of Melbourne’s high school academic calendar, the Grand Finale of the Year 12 Inter-school Debating Tournament. The all-boys team from the elite St Imperium College are ready to totally annihilate their sister school rivals until ...
Played in real-time as the St Imperium team prepare their case, Trophy Boys is a queer dark comedy about power, privilege and high school debating. Using a winning combination of satire and camp, Trophy Boys interrogates the well-documented toxic masculinity, misogyny and homophobia of our elite private boys’ schools, and their prevalence in the backgrounds of those holding the highest offices in the country.
Presented by QPAC
By Emmanuelle Mattana
