The most famous Australian play and one of the best loved, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is a tragicomic story of Roo and Barney. A beautifully observed, humorous, and poignant play, 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 five months of partying and romance with their barmaid girlfriends. AussieTheatre.com said: “Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is an iconic Australian work that should remain an important part of our Australian theatre-going repertoire and cultural education.”
