The boys are back in Sydney!

It’s the most anticipated night of the academic calendar, the Grand Finale of the Year 12 Interschool Debating Tournament and the all-boys team from the elite St Imperium College is primed to obliterate their sister school, until…

Performed by a female and non-binary cast in drag, the boys find themselves confined to a classroom for their one-hour debate preparation. The challenge?  To argue “that feminism has failed women.”

Winner of Best New Australian Work at the Sydney Theatre Awards 2024, this hilariously witty satire takes a sharp look at the insecurities surrounding adolescent masculinity and entitlement. Back in Sydney by popular demand, Trophy Boys is one night of theatre you won’t want to miss.
