Anne Grant (3bCreative) will be bringing and directing, ‘Seventeen’, for the Maleny Players next production which will be performed at the Dairy Pavilion, Maleny Showgrounds.
Tom, Mike, Edwina, Sue, and Ronny are 17 and are seriously celebrating. School has finished, this is the night they say goodbye to adolescence and begin the journey of their lives.
Sue is Mike’s girlfriend. Tom is Mike’s best friend, but he’s secretly in love with Sue. Edwina is Sue’s goody two shoes best friend and she’s about to get drunk for the first time.
Lizzy is Mike’s annoying younger sister and Ronny, well no-one invited Ronny and no one’s quite sure why he’s there. As dawn approaches, through a fog of cheap beer, dreams are shared, insecurities aired, and secrets spilled.
Set in a run down, abandoned playground, unobserved by an adult gaze, this is the night they have all looked forward to, or not.
Funny, immature, wise and a little bit sad, Seventeen, performed by a cast of older performers, turns our notions of adulthood and adolescence on their head.
Performances are Thursday-Friday March 30-31 at 7pm, and Saturday-Sunday April 1-2 at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets are $20 available at trybooking.com/CFJBM or limited cash sales at Maleny Art Direct.
Please note the production is rated M for mature audiences 16 years + Strong language and adult themes.
