HOLDING THE MAN is coming back home to Melbourne!

Holding the Man: Star crossed lovers often overcome the odds to be with each other, and being gay in 1970s Melbourne is definitely something that is not easy for two catholic boys to conquer.

But despite the odds, Tim and John survive everything life throws at them – the separations, the
discriminations, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses – until the only problem that love can’t
solve turns up to part them.

Based on Timothy Conigrave’s original autobiography documenting the 15 year love affair, Tommy Murphy adapts the story of star crossed lovers and encapsulates a celebration of love that speaks across cultures, identities, and generations. Holding the Man captures the raw emotions that we experience as we cling to love in the face of death, strive to live with purpose, and discover the fundamentals of what it means to be human.

After a sold out season in 2022, Taylor Made Productions is thrilled to present Tommy Murphy’s heart-wrenchingly honest story of growing up gay in Australia during one of the darkest times in LGBTQIA+ history, into a world of reflection and discovery. It is Artistic Director Cal Robinson-Taylor’s mission to challenge learnt behaviours and open a window into the heart of the human condition, supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and their stories.
