Three iconic works of Australian theatre, performed back-to-back for the first time in 40 years.
Ray Lawler’s The Doll Trilogy is a defining monument of 20th Century Australian theatre. The Melbourne actor and playwright pulls at the threads of the post-war Australian psyche. At a time of profound change, Lawler looked to life’s most intimate moments as the place to define the outlines of our culture.
Lawler’s works remain enduring for their deep humanity, with his characters personifying the friction that arises in a society transitioning from rural life to urban metropolises. For the first time since 1985, audiences will have the chance to experience Lawler’s complete trilogy, in a marathon feat of theatre by Red Stitch – one that speaks to who we were, who we are, and how the past continues to shape us.
