-Nominated for Best Solo Performance Newcastle Fringe Festival-

Through heartfelt poetry, powerful songs, and evocative prose, Troy vulnerably takes the stage to share his experiences of growing up with parents addicted to drugs.

In this deeply personal performance, Troy delves into the complexities of his past with honesty and courage, while balancing the heavy material with humour and love.

Drug Baby offers an unflinching look at resilience, healing, and the bittersweet nature of growing up in a dark place, guided by a spark of hope.

Reviews

An emotionally courageous work that transforms personal history into powerful theatre. Honest, poetic, and deeply human. On Your Markus

This performance sets itself apart from any genre: it is a delicate and cathartic expression of life layered perfectly with sound, lighting and atmosphere. Every word Rogers says seeps through the skin, attaches to the heart and nestles itself deep within the psyche in a beautiful way. Rogers shows us there is beauty in pain, but what is even more prominent is the beauty in hope, too. The darkness makes the light more meaningful. The List

It is raw, uncompromising real-life storytelling that everyone should see at least once. A powerful performance piece delivered by a man who is much more forgiving than I could ever be! See Do Eat Review
