About
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 – until things take a dark turn… Played in real-time as the St Imperium team prepare their case, Trophy Boys is a satire comedy about power, privilege and high school debating. Using a winning combination of satire and camp, 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
Contains strong language, adult themes, reference to sexual violence and underage sex. Recommended ages: 13+
