Ray Lawler’s classic play SUMMER OF THE SEVENTEENTH DOLL is set in an old house in Carlton, Melbourne in early December of 1953.
Olive, Bubba and Pearl are awaiting the arrival of Roo and Barney who are
coming down from Queensland to spend their layoff season with the women. Emma is at community singing, Olive is nervously getting ready and Bubba is telling Pearl about Nancy, who used to spend every summer with them, but was married earlier this year.
When Roo and Barney arrive they bring with them their usual pile of presents, including the doll that Roo brings Olive each layoff season – this year’s doll is the seventeenth doll.
