Summer of the 17th Doll (by Ray Lawler) reached Broadway, after something of a triumph in London, from its native Australia. As Broadway's first newsworthy Australian play in history, it has its piquant side-plenty of local color, a working-class lingo, accents faithfully rendered by an all-Australian cast.

Too many earlier scenes were flattish, too much writing was prosy; nowhere did 17 years leap out in a sudden glance, or a lifetime emerge...
