Gruesome Playground Injuries

Emerging fresh faced into the Sydney theatre scene, Queerspace’s primary mission is the inclusion and representation of LGBTIA+ lives in the Sydney theatre scape. And what better way to do that than by reimagining a queer perspective onto an originally heteronormative script.

Gruesome Playground Injuries is a hilariously horrifying dark comedy by Rajiv Joseph that follows the lives of two anti-romantic women over the course of thirty years. After meeting in the school nurses office at the age of eight, their damage immediately forms a spell-binding bond that keep them magnetised together for the rest of their destructive lives, no matter how far they try and run.
