The internet made them legends. Now it wants everything else…

A savage and fast-paced dramedy from acclaimed playwright Grace Wilson (Goodbye Eli Anderson) and directed by emerging powerhouse Indiah Morris (Blushing), Pony Club dives headfirst into identity, fandoms, and the chaos of growing up online, asking what’s more terrifying – coming out, or being found out?

Ipswich high schoolers Cassie, Sam, Tai and Jay are just figuring it all out, until the fan-fiction they co-write suddenly erupts into an online phenomenon. Now everyone’s waiting for the next post by PonyLuvr459. But when a rogue fan starts closing the gap between screen and reality, their secret authorship – and everything they’re not ready to admit – comes under threat.

“Wilson’s voice is both fearless and deeply compassionate, marking her as an exciting force in Australian theatre…Bold and fiercely original” ATF NYC 2026 for Bogqueen
