A Streetcar Named Go Fuck Yourself

Get ready to have your heart stirred, your hormones sparked, and your queer soul satisfied — this ain’t your grandma’s theatre. Think Tennessee Williams meets Melbourne’s boldest underground cabaret, with a side of sass, sweat, and serious sparkle.

Our languishing, smoldering gaybo hero finds his quiet world upended by the arrival of his even gayer brother — cue the drama, the tension, and the glorious chaos. Written by Jake Stewart, this isn’t just a play — it’s a sweaty, sexy, and scathingly modern reimagining that’s got more layers than a poorly applied glitter beard.

Set against the velvet curtains and exposed brick of The Motley Bauhaus — the unofficial gay theatre palace of Carlton — this is the opening night of Kissing Booth’s residency. Expect sultry glances, biting one-liners, and a storyline that’ll leave you whispering, “Did that just happen?!”

From the brains behind ‘Who’s Afraid of Vagina Wolves?’ and ‘Pride & Prejudicks’, this is a fiery, tongue-in-cheek romp that’s equal parts romance, rage, and ridiculousness. You’ll laugh, you’ll blush, you’ll probably want to book a second ticket.
