Drizzle Boy is autistic. Drizzle Boy is poked, prodded and diagnosed by a world that wants to change him and a family who doesn’t understand him. Then, on his first day of university, he meets Juliet and suddenly everything seems possible — even his lifelong dream of building a rocket and blasting-off toward the stars!
💛
You’re invited to climb aboard this wildly audacious and wonderfully affirmative rocket ride, produced and performed by Queensland Theatre, as Drizzle Boy launches out and arrives in Cairns very soon.
