Audrey is 11 years old and telepathically linked to all the other horse girls in the world (by her own reckoning). When she tries to steal a police horse on a school trip as a way of proving the legitimacy of her equine obsession, she is kicked in the head and thereafter finds herself in the Mexican desert; in a Cormac McCarthyesque fever dream wherein she must fight her way back to life.

After a hugely successful Australian premiere at the Blue Room Theatre's 'Summer Nights', this festival favourite gallops to Melbourne stages with strawberry kisses and the enthusiasm of new-born foal.

From the award-winning company that brought 'WHAT OF IT' to life (Theatre Works, 2023), 'All The Fraudulent Horse Girls' is the queer coming of age story of your childhood.

"Audrey was so cringily relatable that it had me wanting to call my mother after the show and ask if she regretted exposing me to horses considering all she had to endure."

    A close up shot of three people. You can only see their shoulders and the bottom halves of their faces and there are shadows across most of the image. On the far right, a person with red lipstick on has their tongue out, about to lick the face of the person in the middle. The person in the middle is wearing a striped navy and white shirt, and they have their face tilted up with a look of both pain and pleasure. On the far left, a person in a blue suit is whispering in the ear of the person in the centre. They also have their hand around the throat of the person in the centre.
