Description |
Timothy Conigrave's 1995 memoir, Holding the Man, about his 15-year relationship with his school friend (and the captain of the football team) John Caleo, is a poignant and compelling account of how as boys and then men they challenged and rewrote those rules and transformed their lives, and those around them, in the process. The State Theatre Company of South Australia has revived Tommy Murphy's stage adaptation of Conigrave's book, first performed by Griffin Theatre in 2006. |
