A beautifully observed, humorous and poignant play, Ray Lawler's 'Summer of the Seventeenth Doll', a much-loved tale of two Queensland cane cutters will visit the West Gippsland Arts Centre this September.
The play follows a pair of cane cutters, who for 16 years have worked up north in the brutal sugar cane fields and have travelled back to Melbourne to meet up for five months of partying and romance with their barmaid girlfriends. But this seventeenth summer will prove challenging for them all.
Summer of the Seventeenth Doll will perform at WGAC on September 13 at 7.30pm.
It has a runtime of two hours and 30 minutes including intermission.
Tickets are $35 more WGAC members, $43 at full price, $40 for concession and $25 for under 18s.
A triumph at its 1955 Melbourne premiere and highly successful West End season, this 2022 production of the Australian classic Summer of the Seventeenth Doll directed by award-winning Denny Lawrence celebrates the 65th Anniversary of the iconic play.
