Summer of the Seventeenth Doll

4/10/1966

0 Comments

 
By Raw Lawler
Directed by Hunter Bell

Season: 4 - 11 October 1966

This play is the poignant story of two sugar cane-cutters, who, for seventeen years, have spent their lay-off season in a Melbourne suburb with two local barmaids.  Over the years this annual stay has become to them a type of dream-world of perfection, with gay times for all for six months, until the lay-off season is over.

Seventeen years have passed, and suddenly one of the girls is gone, married.  The cane-cutters turn up in Melbourne.  But the atmosphere is different, they are too old to live on dreams, and gradually the dreams of seventeen years turn into a horrible nightmare.
