Samuel Roberts - FAAG
Samuel Roberts returns to his roots in FAAG: Footballers Are A Godsend. This comedy cabaret is an absolute screamer with original songs and stories of a young queer man's life in country football.
Sam, a young man established in the world of country football, desires to be the first openly queer footballer in the AFL. As he relives his biggest moments in football, he starts to wonder, is the culture of football an inclusive space for queer men?
Coach of the season is Wes Snelling – award winning writer, director, performance-maker and titan of the industry.
