Acknowledgement of Country:
SUDS acknowledges that the University of Sydney and the Cellar Theatre reside on stolen land; the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. As a society that exists to tell stories, it is
important to acknowledge that stories were being told on this land for thousands of years before British colonisation.
SUDS pays respect to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded – Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land.

About the Play:
Troy’s House is a play set in suburban Canberra, that explores the drudgery and uncertainty of youth. It’s about skiving off and taking drugs and falling in love and fucking around. It’s about hanging out at Troy’s place while his mum sits on her La-Z-Boy watching daytime telly; and hearing him and his girlfriend have loud, but short sex in the other room. It’s about those feral urges that accompany young adulthood and the little voices in the back of your mind that reckon that maybe you don’t fit in the way everyone else does. Maybe you’re a bit of a shit person. Maybe your future’s not as bright as the midday sun that gleams off Lake Burley-Griffin. What are you supposed to do when your adolescence, and the places and people that defined it, start to slip away?
