Monkey Baa presents The Lies We Were Told

21 Feb 2023 to 23 Feb 2023

Conceived and created by a fiery group of teenagers, The Lies We Were Told is an insight into what it’s like to grow up in society obsessed with fiction and what it takes to figure out the facts.

From little white lies about the tooth fairy to the big, trickier ones about gender norms, heteronormativity and queerness, this fresh Australian play unpacks how society places us in a box from day dot. With stories about the hopes and dreams of young people, this is a bold exploration of what it's like to be a teenager living in Australia today.

Exploring trans and gender diverse stories, join these teenagers as they joyfully celebrate LGBTQIA+ youth and families, while teaching us you a couple of important lessons along the way.
