Yes Yes Yes: Geelong theatre tackles toxic masculinity and consent

words by staff writer

One of the most talked-about shows of the year, Adolescence, is a hard-hitting drama that explores the story of a community grappling with the fallout of toxic masculinity among young people.

It has left parents across the country facing the harsh realities their children endure in an era shaped by red-pill podcasts and rising violence against women.

Amidst the lack of clear guidance on how to tackle these challenges, Geelong Arts Centre presents Yes Yes Yes, a theatre piece designed for teenagers.

This powerful production helps young people navigate the complexities of healthy relationships, desire, and consent within a non-judgmental, safe environment. It also provides valuable insights for parents and teens on how to support peers or loved ones who have experienced assault.

Created by Eleanor Bishop and Karin McCracken, this unique blend of documentary, confession, and open conversation offers a humorous, witty, and moving way to spark dialogue where it can often feel the most difficult.

Yes Yes Yes has received critical acclaim, winning the ‘Excellence in Theatre for Social Change’ award and ‘Outstanding Performance: Karin McCracken’ at the Wellington Theatre Awards in 2019.
