We discover who we are, we fall in love, we stuff things up and we do the best we can.

And sometimes we have to dodge the trickiest of curve balls.
Like when you’re a homo in an all-male school in the 1970s.
And you’ve got a crush on the captain of the footy team.

Fumbling from febrile adolescence through to wide-eyed young adulthood, Tim and John eventually find a way together. 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, changing their lives forever.

A celebration of existence that speaks across generations, sexual preferences and cultures. Wickedly funny and breathtakingly candid, this is theatre that grips you by the heart and doesn’t let go.
