From the canefields to the city, classic play resonates today

CLASSIC PLAY BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE...Summer of the Seventeenth Doll will dazzle in September.

SUMMER of the Seventeenth Doll is an iconic Australian story of passion, bittersweet romance and the yearning for lost youth.

While some plays and playwrights go in and out of fashion, Ray Lawler’s 1955 much loved tale of Queensland cane cutters and Melbourne barmaids endures today with themes and characters as relevant to contemporary viewers as they were when the play debuted 67 years ago.

CLASSIC PLAY BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE…Summer of the Seventeenth Doll will dazzle in September.

Directed by Denny Lawrence whose history with HIT includes many successful productions including Shirley Valentine, Always…Patsy Cline, Educating Rita, Glorious! Hotel Sorrento and most recently, My Brilliant Divorce, will be supported by a highly experienced creative team.

Proudly presented by Greater Shepparton City Council with support from Creative Victoria, tickets are available in person, online or through the Riverlinks Box Office on 03 5832 9511. For full selection of shows on offer, visit www.riverlinksvenues.com.au/whatson.
