Tim and John fell in love while teenagers at their all-boys high school. John was captain of the football team, Tim an aspiring actor playing a minor part in Romeo and Juliet. Their romance endured for 15 years to laugh in the face of everything life threw at it - the separations, the discrimination, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses - until the only problem that love can't solve, tried to destroy them.
When the adolescent Tim first asks John if he'll "go round with him", the telephone used by Ryan Corr is the actual telephone Timothy Conigrave would have used to make the call in real-life. It was Conigrave's personal bedroom telephone from his youth, provided to the production by his sister Anna Davison.
