Two acclaimed plays from Australia’s brightest new playwright, Tommy Murphy, currently ‘rocketing through the Australian theatre scene' (
Sydney Morning Herald).
Strangers in Between is a warm, insightful and funny coming-of-age story with endearing characters and well-observed dialogue. It won the 2006 NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Best Play.
Holding the Man is adapted from Timothy Conigrave's iconic memoir of the same name. A breathtakingly honest, achingly funny and heart-wrenching account of a fifteen year relationship, the book won the 1995 UN Human Rights Award for Non-Fiction.
Speaking across generations, sexual preferences and cultures, both plays explore what it means to grow up, how we form relationships, and why we need to love and be loved.
