'Audrey is 11 years old and telepathically linked to all the other horse girls in the world. She devours all things horses; the saddle club, spirit, national velvet, black beauty, even ventolin from her Shetland pony asthma inhaler. Shunned by her school's only other horse girls she hatches an ill-fated scheme to prove her worth, kicking off a chain reaction that sends her from suburban Sydney deep into the vast expanse of the Central American desert in a surreal and life-threatening journey for meaning.
'All The Fraudulent Horse Girls is a raucous, queer one-act-comedy in three acts. It’s a love letter to weird kids; their alienating and all-consuming passions; and the dangerous lengths they'll go to pursue them.
'If you've ever lay awake in bed thinking of a comeback for a humiliation you've already suffered, then saddle up for a rollicking, unpredictable equine odyssey.'
