STRAP YOURSELF IN FOR A ROCKET RIDE. 

Drizzle Boy is autistic. 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! Could she be a safe space for a man who just wants a calm centre to his universe? Join Drizzle Boy as he takes back his story from a world of misunderstandings with irreverence and audacity.

Drizzle Boy was the smash-hit of Queensland Theatre’s 2023 Season, winner of the 2022-2023 Queensland Premier’s Drama Award, and the first time a neurodivergent character has been written by a neurodivergent playwright and portrayed by an actor with lived experience on the Australian main stage.

Strap yourself in for this heartfelt, funny, and important story that’s perfect for the whole family. If you like your theatre fresh, free-wheeling, and unexpected, you’re invited to climb aboard this wonderfully affirmative rocket ride as Drizzle Boy launches out to Canberra.
