A play about Australian Rules football, Royboys focuses on the fate of the Fitzroy Football Club.
The cast calls for a musician (dressed as a footy supporter) who plays songs and provides sound effects. The production notes also call for "a navel or military or municipal band" to play emotional propaganda tunes for about twenty minutes or so prior to the start of the play. Songs such as 'Moreton Bay', 'Click Go the Shears', 'Waltzing Matilda', 'Advance Australia Fair' etc are suggested, as is the winding up to a feverish rendition of the Fitzroy Football Club's anthem 'La Marseillaise!'
