“Feminism has failed women.”
That is the prompt given to the debate team of an elite all-boys prep school one hour before the final match of their high school careers. As they develop compelling arguments to demolish their sister school, a "rumor" leaks about their team that threatens to blow up everything they have worked for.
What begins as a riotously funny satire turns into a sharp exploration of power and privilege, from high school to the highest circles of political influence.
Following multiple sold-out runs in Australia, playwright Emmanuelle Mattana's TROPHY BOYS makes its American premiere in a thrilling new production featuring Mattana as part of the cast. Directed by 2024 Tony Award-winner Danya Taymor (THE OUTSIDERS), TROPHY BOYS is a provocative comedy about the singular pursuit of victory, and the cost of reaching it.
