Fourteen

Fourteen, the inspirational true story of growing up gay in central Queensland, has been transformed into a powerful must-see theatre production.

Equal-parts uplifting and heart-wrenching Fourteen is an account of Shannon’s experience at an all-boys rugby-mad Catholic school in regional Queensland; the bullying, torment and betrayal as well as the moments of resilience, love and hilarity.

Fourteen masterfully blends trauma with triumph and heartache with humour. The production pays homage to its era with nostalgic 90s pop culture references and a soundtrack featuring hits from Shania Twain to The Spice Girls, creating a vibrant and evocative atmosphere on stage.
