A black and white image of a young man screaming and holding his face.
18 – 22 Nov

James Watson: Proud

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

A tour-de-force play you don’t want to miss.

When Jack’s brother marries an immigrant, everyone’s talking. His grandfather disapproves, lads from the footy club crack jokes, and the backyard is full suddenly of strangers. When tragedy strikes Jack turns to a far-right youtuber and starts questioning who to trust.

Told in vivid monologue with raw emotion, Proud unpacks the forces that lead young men from alienation to extremism – confronting fascism, interrogating the complacency of male role models and resisting intergenerational legacies.
