Holding the Man

Holding the Man is based on Timothy Conigrave's celebrated memoir of the same name, which won the 1995 UN Human Rights Award for Non-Fiction and was voted one of Australia's top 100 favourite books.

Tommy Murphy's stage adaptation faithfully captures the book's heart-wrenchingly honest portrayal of a fifteen-year relationship, but also succeeds in transforming it into a unique theatrical experience that is wholly his own. The play won multiple awards, including the 2007 Nick Enright Prize for Playwriting and 2007 Philip Parsons Young Playwrights Award, as well as having had seasons across Australia and internationally.

This performance contains strong and queerphobic language, adult themes, explicit sexual references and haze.
