Queensland Theatre Company's critically acclaimed Summer of the Seventeenth Doll closes this Sunday, March 11 at QPAC.

Starring a superb cast led by Australia's leading lady of the stage Robyn Nevin as Emma Leach, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll stars Steve Le Marquand (Buried Child, Underbelly Razor, Beneath Hill 60) as Roo; Alison Whyte (Frontline, Satisfaction, City Homicide, Logie, Helpmann and GreenRoom award winner) as Olive Leach; Eloise Winestock (As You Like It, Romeo & Juliet) as Bubba Ryan; Helen Thompson (Getting' Square, Green Room award winner) as Pearl Cunningham; Travis McMahon (Cloudstreet, Don's Party, Last Man Standing) as Barney Ibbot, and James Hoare (Noises Off, Twelfth Night) as Johnnie Dowd.

Set in Australia in the 1950s, Doll tells the story of cane-cutters Barney and Roo, who return from Queensland to the Carlton house they share with Nancy and Olive every year, for their annual five-months of of fun. It's been this way for 17 years. This summer though, it's different. Barney's 17-year seasonal girlfriend Nancy has gone and gotten married; so Olive ropes in the uptight Pearl as company for him; while she and Roo, who is flat broke, realise life has caught up with them, and their relationship. Is this really the end?
