Summer of the Seventeenth Doll

Written by RAY LAWLER

Directed by TOM RICHARDS / Assistant Director EMMANUEL NICOLAOU

The most famous Australian play and one of the most loved, this is the tragicomic story of Roo and Barney. Beautifully observed, humorous and poignant, Ray Lawler’s much-loved play is a tale of two Queensland cane-cutters who, for 16 years, have worked up north in the brutal sugar cane fields and travelled back to Melbourne to meet up for 5 months of partying and romance with their barmaid girlfriends. AussieTheatre.com said this play is “an iconic Australian work that should remain an important part of our Australian theatre-going repertoire and cultural education”.
