Every summer, Barney and Roo return from the Queensland canefields to the suburban Melbourne house they share with Nancy and Olive for their annual season of leisure. This year though, Nancy’s gone and got married, Pearl’s taking her place… and after seventeen years, good things are coming to an end. Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is one of the pillars of our national theatre. With its premiere in 1955, Australian playwriting came of age. Rooted in larrikin culture, mateship and urban life, The Doll is about people trapped in their past, but also about regeneration: about shedding the shell of habit, facing the future, and finding life anew. Robert Jarman, Tasmania’s leading and most highly awarded theatre director, returns to the Playhouse Theatre, where he last staged our haunting production of Journey’s End. The Doll promises to be a funny, sad, moving and memorable experience.
