State Theatre Company of South Australia presents Holding the Man by Timothy Conigrave, adapted by Tommy Murphy.
A funny, sad and celebratory account of growing up gay.
The award-winning memoir by Australian writer/actor/activist Timothy Conigrave, Holding the Man is a powerful story no one should miss.
It's the mid-seventies - and satin baggies and chunky platforms reign supreme. Jethro Tull does battle with glam-rock for the airwaves. At an all-boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy falls wildly and sweetly in love with the captain of the football team. So begins a relationship that will last for 15 years, a love affair that weathers disapproval, separation and ultimately death.
Holding the Man recreates that relationship with honesty and insight: the intimacy, constraints, temptations, and the strength of heart both partners may need.
