State Theatre Company South Australia: Log Boy
1 January 2027 @ 7:30 pm - 10 January 2027 @ 8:30 pm AEST

A deliriously dark, heart-stabbing, and hilarious queer ghost story about love, grief, and the demons we can’t quite exorcise — especially the leather-clad ones.
After the death of his fiancé, Anthony retreats to their country house to grieve, only to be haunted — literally and figuratively — by loss, lust, and a spectral Leather Daddy who won’t let him forget. Joined by two of his fiance’s closest (and most inappropriate) friends, Anthony must navigate a weekend of memory, secrets, and unwelcome truths. As boxes are unpacked and identities are unpeeled, what emerges is a tender, twisted portrait of queer community, sexual subcultures, and the chaos of being left behind.
Camp, kinky, and emotionally ferocious, Log Boy is a riotous collision of horror, humour, and heartbreak — a love letter to leather queens, nelly bottoms, and anyone who’s ever been ghosted by grief.
