This account of a 15-year relationship that weathered disapproval, separation, temptation and, ultimately, death is a story, and a celebration, that speaks across generations, sexual preference and cultures.įeaturing Joel Horwood, Lewis McDonald, Joe Dinn, Amy Kowalczuk, Tracy Noble and Grayson Woodham I was to be interviewed for a documentary called John and Tim, being made by Waterbyrd Filmz, about the lives of John Caleo and Timothy Conigrave. Those who loved the book will find that this adaptation by Tommy Murphy transfers every ounce of honesty, humour and heart-wrenching irony to the stage. ![]() ![]() Still, despite the odds, Tim and John become close and for fifteen years their relationship survives everything life throws at it – 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.įor many Australians, Tim Conigrave’s best selling memoir about his fifteen-year relationship with John Caleo captured better than any book of the period what it was like being young and gay during the eighties AIDS crisis. The course of teenage love rarely runs smooth, but it is a white-water adventure if you are a gay boy in an all-male school in 1970s Melbourne with a crush on the captain of the football team. ![]() ![]() Winner of the 2007 New South Wales Premier's Literary Award and the 2007 Australian Writers' Guild Award (AWGIE) for Best Play ![]()
