High School Boys with Marni Mount and Emmanuelle Mattana

The Saturday Quiz

It is rare for a piece of independent theatre to earn itself a return season. Rarer still for that return season to be on the main stages and tour around the country. And even rarer yet for that piece of theatre to be a brand new play from a debut playwright.

But that is exactly what has happened for actor and playwright Emmanuel Mattana and director Marni Mount.

Trophy Boys is a queer black comedy and drag extravaganza about power, privilege, and high school debating.

Performed by a female and non-binary cast in drag as the four members of the debating team from an elite private boys school as they prepare for their grand final debate against their sister school and forced to argue in the affirmative that "feminism has failed women".

Trophy Boys takes a satirical look at insecure adolescent masculinity, entitlement and the ego of Australia's next generation of politicians and powerbrokers.
