Upside Down Fantasyland
This unique show is a poetic journey from a young man's dark past into his bright future. Troy recollects memories of out-of-home care and drug-related trauma. Vulnerably bringing to the stage raw truth telling through poetry, songs and prose. Expect a vulnerable exploration of Troy's experiences, giving an insight into what it's like to grow up with a grandmother due to parental illicit substance use. The heavy material is alleviated with laughs and love.
