STUD
Flip Flop Theatre Collective
The nation’s survival hangs on your ‘five-a-day’
At STUD, a state-controlled all-male facility born from a post-war dystopic matriarchy, three men’s lives are upended when a female government official arrives. What will they sacrifice when needs must?
STUD satirises power and gender politics while speaking universally to oppression and human resilience.
Previous audience responses include:
‘I really loved the originality of the story!’
‘A compelling and nuanced narrative!’
Come and witness STUD in action!
