Overview
Presented by Townsville Civic Theatre and Cre8ion
After sold-out, smash-hit seasons in Sydney, They Will Be Kings is heading to Townsville.
Created by acclaimed theatre-maker Kaz Therese and The King Coach, Danica Lani, this ground-breaking performance dives deep into the politics of joy, power, and gender, through the lens of trans masc, nonbinary, and lesbian drag kings.
Presented by Cre8ion, Werewold & Kings of Joy, They Will Be Kings unites some of Australia’s most exciting & influential trans activists, drag king performers and award-winning artists to rewrite the queer history of 21st Century Australia.
Come celebrate the KINGS as this powerful ensemble reclaims and reshapes queer history.
Join the revolution. Celebrate the Kings. Get your tickets now — this show will sell out!
Wonderful and life-affirming. They Will Be Kings is a thoroughly entertaining hour, and a magical celebration of life’s richness.
Paul Gilchrist, Theatre Reds
They Will Be Kings...The lack of mainstream visibility for Kings makes what they’ve created even more precious.
Lydia Jupp, Sydney Star Observer
Strength and queer pride...a roar of pure masculinity
