Summer of the Seventeenth Doll March 21, 2012

Master theatre-maker Neil Armfield’s stunning revival of Australia’s first great classic for the theatre.

Every summer, Barney and Roo come back from the Queensland canefields to the Carlton house they share with Nancy and Olive for their annual season of leisure. This year though, Nancy’s gone and got married, and Pearl’s taking her place…

Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is one of the pillars of our national theatre. With its premiere in 1955, Australian playwriting came of age. But ‘The Doll is also about regeneration: about sloughing off the shell of habit and delusion and finding life anew.

Robyn Nevin returns to the Wollongong stage with a stellar cast in Belvoir’s wonderful new production of Ray Lawler’s classic play – an unmissable theatrical treat.
