Queensland Day Play - Summer of the Seventeenth Doll

Theatre Redlands will present the 2025 Queensland Day Play at Redlands Coast Museum.

'Summer of the Seventeenth Doll' is an Australian play written by Ray Lawler. The play is set in an old house in Carlton, Melbourne, in early December of 1953. It explores the long term relationship between two larrikin Queensland cane cutters - Roo and Barney - and the women they visit every year in the off season - Olive, Bubba and Pearl. In this final Summer all awaken to middle-age and realise that things have or must change.

Produced by Theatre Redlands and directed by Raymond Noonan
