Trophy Boys | Anne Pensalfini & PIP Theatre
As the private school boys work through their one-hour preparation time for a high stakes debating competition, Trophy Boys exposes the true horror of their ego, entitlement, and ‘education’—where each boy reveals stories about ways in which they behave with and toward women, in a show that encourages audiences to question the building blocks that sustain toxic masculinity, misogyny and homophobia.
Trophy Boys | Soft Tread & The Maybe Pile
It’s not always easy to balance sharp political and social commentary with genuinely entertaining theatre, but Emmanuelle Mattana’s Trophy Boys manages to do just this, delivering a show that’s just as laugh-out-loud funny as it is emotionally biting and politically urgent. Making its Brisbane debut at QPAC after a string of sell-out seasons and critical acclaim in Australia and the US, this queer black-comedy offers a gripping interrogation of the pervasive cultures of misogyny and toxic masculinity in private boys’ schools (and beyond).
