Dumb Kids

$5.40$15.00

Dumb Kids is a contemporary queer commentary on Wedekind’s Spring Awakening, asking why do we always tell queer kids it’ll get better but never that it’ll get good. Set over the course of a year it follows a group of ten Australian school students planning their year eleven formal and their intermixing journeys of discovering their sexualities, gender and how to grow up in a world where everyone seems to have already figured it out. Raucously funny and unflinching, Dumb Kids is a celebration of community, friendship and identity.
