Drizzle Boy
STRAP YOURSELF IN FOR A WILD AND WONDERFULLY UPLIFTING ROCKET RIDE!
After a sellout 2023 season in Brisbane, Queensland Theatre’s award-winning Drizzle Boy is coming to Redland Performing Arts Centre for one night only
Drizzle Boy is poked, prodded and diagnosed by a world that wants to change him and a family who doesn’t understand him. Then, on his first day of university, he meets Juliet and suddenly everything seems possible — even his lifelong dream of building a rocket and blasting-off toward the stars!
“Thoughtful, imaginative and raw”– Scenestr
Be inspired by this charming and witty coming-of-age adventure of hope as Drizzle Boy, a young autistic man, first experiences university, love, and independence. More than a journey of self-discovery, this story is a window into what it is like to see the universe differently. If you loved the cult film Rain Man, Drizzle Boy will strike a chord in your heart.
“A play that needs to be told” – Theatre Travels
Join Drizzle Boy on a deeply moving and enlightening rocket ride, as he takes back his narrative from a world of misunderstandings with irreverence and audacity.
Don’t miss Queensland Theatre’s award-winning, smash-hit production, coming to RPAC for one night only!
