The Holding Man at Trafalgar Studios
Event: The Holding Man
Date: April 23rd to July 3rd
The course of young love is rarely a smooth one.
For Tim, however, that is an understatement.
He is a young gay boy who attends an all-male high school in Melbourne and has fallen in love with John, the captain of the football team.
Telling John is not a problem, as it turns out that he is quite keen on Tim as well.
So begins a passionate 15-year love affair which survives the abuse, ridicule and disapproval from the conservative Melbourne population.
One day, however, their worlds are shattered when the one problem true love cannot conquer turns up to change their lives forever.
Tim Conigrave's The Holding Man is one of the most successful pieces of Australian theatre in recent years, with its humorous look at sexual preference and society's attitudes winning the hearts of theatre fans everywhere.
The play is sure to pluck at the heartstrings of couples who see it and after the curtain comes down, visitors can enjoy each other's company with a romantic evening at the luxury London hotel the 41.
With the Get More From Your Stay package, guests can enjoy a bottle of Laurent Perrier in their room, Champagne afternoon tea for two, a romantic turndown with chocolate-dipped strawberries, a three-course table d'hote dinner or a late checkout on the final day.
