Fresh from its sold-out performances in 2024 and Off-Broadway debut in June, critically acclaimed queer black comedy Trophy Boys returns to the Sydney stage as part of its national tour, performing at Riverside Theatres Parramatta from 6th – 9th August. A drag extravaganza about power, privilege, and high school debating, 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. 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… Written by up-and-coming playwright Emmanuelle Mattana, Trophy Boys is about shifting power and positioning marginalised people as front and centre in spaces from which they are normally excluded, in this instance, the boys’ clubs of elite private schools.
