Summer of the Seventeenth Doll

Ray Lawler

Ray Lawler’s revised script of his (and Australia’s) most famous play, in which two larrikin cane cutters and their women awaken to middle-age. The impact of The Doll cannot be overstated. Its success both here and abroad was quickly recognised as a defining moment in Australian theatre history.

It was reported that people drove hundreds of kilometres and a man swam a flooded river to see it.
