Theatre - Summer of the Seventeenth Doll

Summer of the Seventeenth Doll playing @ Belvoir till 13 November 2011 (so get in soon!)

So I did a really amazing review for this last night and it seems to have deleted itself from the Internet, annoying internet!

So basically I praised the play for it's superb acting, mainly from the likes of Robyn Nevin, Susie Porter, and Dan Wyllie, also the woman who played Pearl simply had all the superior lines and really just owned it.

Summer of the Seventeenth Doll really is a terrific play and I thought I would struggle with the 3 hour, 2 interval duration but it really went by super quick and the whole thing just work so well.

The breakdown of a relationship over 17 years and the way life changes over a period of 17 years is explorered and played out so well in this well writtern and well acted piece.

Also big props to well the props and the use of the window out to Belvoir street was just a FAB vision. Well done.

Great play, 4 almost Summer stars.
