A queer dark comedy about power, privilege… and debating.
It is the biggest night in the academic calendar, the Grand Finale of the Year 12 Interschool Debating Tournament. The boys from the elite St Imperium College are locked in a classroom for their short debate prep, forced to argue 'that feminism has failed women'.
But what begins as a riotously funny satire on insecure adolescent masculinity and the ego of Australia's next generation of politicians quickly turns sour.

After a decade in the shadows, Shake & Stir Theatre Co's critically acclaimed, sold-out production of Dracula rises again and returns to QPAC for a strictly limited season.
When young lawyer Jonathan Harker journeys deep into the Carpathian Mountains, he is unprepared for the strange welcome awaiting him at Castle Dracula. Trapped within its walls and at the mercy of his mysterious host, Jonathan soon discovers he may be more than a guest – he may be the main course!
Leaving Jonathan for dead, Dracula abandons his castle for London, driven by an insatiable hunger for seduction, eternal love and, above all, blood.
From the company behind the acclaimed national touring productions of Frankenstein, 1984 and A Christmas Carol – Bram Stoker's legendary gothic nightmare returns to Brisbane – bolder, bloodier and unleashed on a thrilling new scale.
The original season sold out in record time and now, the Count is back for a second bite.
Believe the hype, five-star champagne cabaret – Blanc de Blanc – is back for its highly anticipated Encore!

This intoxicating Gatsby-esque ride astonishes and delights with its world-renowned brand of opulent, cheeky, edge-of-your-seat theatre!
After a hugely successful one-year run in Sydney's The Grand Electric, the show is transferring to Brisbane's brand-new theatre and bar, The West End Electric – an "oasis of opulence within the heart of West End" (Blue Curtains Brisbane).

The internet made them legends. Now it wants everything else...
A savage and fast-paced comedy from acclaimed writer Grace Wilson (Goodbye Eli Anderson) and directed by Indiah Morris (Blushing), Pony Club dives headfirst into identity, fandoms, and the chaos of growing up online, asking what's more terrifying – coming out, or being found out?
