0:00I'm Cory with the story, bringing you the latest from Adelaide News today. State Theatre Company, South Australia, launched its 2026 season with Trophy Boys, a 70-minute play now running at the space. Theater, written by Immanuel Le Matana, the show blends comedy and drama to tackle toxic masculinity. A female and non-binary cast performs in drag, bringing a sharp, unique angle to real-world issues like those in some schools. It begins as light-hearted laughs shifts into intense, thought-provoking moments. Audiences on opening night were fully engaged, reacting with gasps, cheers, and outright shock. The smart use of humor helps ease the heavier themes without losing impact. The classroom set, complete with posters, a whiteboard and desks, creates an ideal space for the action. Lighting by Katie Spettkittis and Sound by Ben Andrews stand out, especially the subtle ticking clock that builds tension. You can see Trophy Boys at the Adelaide Festival Center Space Theater until April 2,
