AUSTRALIAN OPEN serves up sharp comedy in the world of high-pressure tennis, where ambition is everything, egos wear short shorts, and love is the wildcard no one can coach you through. Our rising star player is on track for greatness - sponsorships, fame, the whole glittering future - and he knows it. His boyfriend? He’s trying to keep up, hold tight, and work out whether he’s a partner, a prop, or just the ball boy in someone else’s spotlight.
AUSTRALIAN OPEN is a comedy about love, competition and the thin line between inspiration and self-destruction. Sometimes the greatest opponent isn’t across the net - it’s the one you kiss goodnight. Bright. Queer. Fast-paced. Very funny. Grab your seat, grab your drink - and prepare for balls to fly.
1hr 15min. No interval.
