Following four sold out seasons in Sydney, Tommy Murphy’s award winning adaptation of Tim Conigrave’s iconic memoir, Holding the Man comes to Brisbane. Breathtakingly honest and achingly funny, Holding the Man is a heart-wrenching account of a fifteen-year relationship that weathered disapproval, separation, temptation and ultimately, death. It's a story and a celebration that speaks across generations, sexual preferences and cultures. Tim and John met in high school in the mid-1970's. Tim was in the school production of Romeo & Juliet and had a crush on John. John was the captain of the football team and wanted to play for Essendon. By the end of high school even their school yearbook acknowledged them as the year's cutest couple. Griffin Theatre Company's 2006 and 2007 sell-out seasons of Tommy Murphy’s adaptation of Holding The Man set all-time box office records for the company. After two more sell out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and Belvoir St Theatre, Holding The Man is already one of the theatre hits of the decade, returning in 2008 to the Melbourne Theatre Company and Brisbane Powerhouse.
