Directed by Tim Riessen, Ray Lawler’s SUMMER OF THE SEVENTEENTH DOLL is considered by literary scholars to be the most significant play in Australian theatre history.
The story follows two itinerant cane cutters, Barney and Roo, who have spent the past 16 summers in the off-season with two barmaids in Melbourne.
Every year, Roo has brought a tinsel doll to his girl Olive, as a gift to symbolise their relationship – but this 17th summer is somehow different.
All four lovers come to face certain unpleasant truths about themselves in what has been described as an unusual, compelling love story.
