Following its world premiere in 2006, Holding the Man became the most sought after theatre ticket in Sydney (along with Belvoir’s Keating!) with three sold-out seasons, the 2007 NSW Premier’s Literary Award and 2007 AWGIE and Helpmann Award nominations for Best Play.

Described as a modern classic of Australian theatre, Holding the Man came back for a strictly limited season at the intimate Belvoir St Theatre. Adapted from the award-winning memoir of Timothy Conigrave, this is one of the great love stories. Tim and John met in high school in the mid-1970s. Their fifteen-year relationship weathers disapproval, separation, temptation and ultimately, death. An astounding and moving production of great heart.
