Dumb Kids

About the show

Dumb Kids is a contemporary queer adaptation of Wedekind's Spring Awakening, following ten Year Eleven students as they navigate identity and sexuality in an Australian school setting. Brought together to plan their Year Eleven Social (Y.E.S), the ensemble of characters from diverse backgrounds grapple with the complexities of growing up and finding authenticity. They seek love, connection, and friendship while confronting the pressure to know themselves in a world of expectations. The production centres on their desire for genuine self-expression and meaningful relationships as they work toward making their social the best it can be.
