Seventeen by Matthew Whittet
Jess is Mikes girlfriend. Tom is Mikes best friend, but hes secretly in love with Jess. Emilia is Jesss goody-two-shoes best friend and shes about to get drunk for the first time. Lizzy is Mikes annoying younger sister. And Ronny, well no-one invited Ronny and no ones quite sure why hes there. As dawn approaches, through a fog of cheap beer, dreams are shared, insecurities aired and secrets spilled. Funny, immature, wise and a little bit sad, Seventeen performed by a cast of septuagenarians, will turn our notions of adulthood and adolescence on their head. A Lyric Hammersmith production in association with Belvoir, Sydney.
