Summer of the Seventeenth Doll
Sat, 10 Feb 2001, 04:46 pmA new presentation of the great Australian Classic, a great start to Melville Theatre Company's celebration of the centenary of Federation year of Australian plays .
A wonderfully strong cast of seven brought this play to vibrant life. It's unusual to be totally unable to single out one actorin a production, but on this occasion the whole cast is so strong and so totally believable that they all deserve equal praise.
From the first moment the audience is caught up in the life of Olive and Roo , as they prepare to celebrate the seventeenth year of the summer break from Roo's work as a Queensland cane-cutter. but this year things are different . You'll have to see for yourselves why. As the play proceeds the ending is inevitable but even tho I knew the story I reached for the tissues!
Lynn Colson & Rob Bolitho shine as the lovers and are well matched by Zorina Gavolovich & James Graham as Pearl & Barney, Helen Thornton as Emma , Laura Vallini & Luke Martindale as Bubba & Dowd.
Congratulations to directors Nicola Bond & Peter Kirkwood on a fine start to 2001 for Melville
