A little romance, a little tension… and a whole lot of unfinished business. 🌺

Meet Barney and Pearl.

Barney's a smooth-talking charmer who's spent seventeen summers chasing a good time. Pearl, on the other hand, isn't quite so easily swept off her feet.

When these two come together, sparks fly — but perhaps not quite the ones Barney was hoping for!

Will Barney finally meet his match?

Experience the humour, heartbreak and harsh realities of Ray Lawler's iconic Australian play, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll.
