Trophy Boys

★★★★★ “Trophy Boys is a revelation…drag at its most satirical and incisive” – The Age
★★★★1/2 “
Evisceratingly dark satire in drag” – The Sydney Morning Herald

It’s the grand finale of the Year 12 Interschool Debating Tournament, and the all-boys team from St Imperium College is ready to annihilate their sister-school. But as they prepare to argue ‘that feminism has failed women,’ a bombshell accusation of sexual assault changes everything.

Performed by a female and non-binary cast, Trophy Boys uses drag, satire and camp to playfully and powerfully interrogate the well-documented toxic masculinity, misogyny and homophobia of our elite private boys schools, and their prevalence in the highest offices of power in the country. With biting satire and queer methodologies, Trophy Boys takes aim at the cultural pipeline, leaving no one unscathed.
