Heyo!
Emmanuelle (she/they) is an actor, writer and maker with a passion for telling stories that blend the playful with the political, and a love of young, queer audiences.
Her debut work as a playwright, Trophy Boys, toured Australia in 2024 to sold-out audiences and critical acclaim, and will have its American premiere at New York's MCC Theater in 2025 directed by Tony Award Winner Danya Taymor.
The show was awarded Sydney Theatre Award's Best New Australian Work, BroadwayWorld Australia's Best New Play in Melbourne and Best Performance for VCE Theatre Studies Students after its inclusion on the Victorian curriculum. In 2025 it will tour again at Carriageworks, Riverside Theatres, Queensland Performing Arts Centre and the Arts Centre Melbourne.
