| Set Design | Barry Kay [?]1Barry Kay was assistant to Anne Fraser, whom theatre records list as the sole designer of Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. The Archive holds two set designs by Kay for this production – one of the Parlour of a Melbourne House (above), the other of the Interior of the Young & Jacksons Hotel (Australian term for pub). It however remains unclear whether his scenery was in fact realized for the stage, and whether he was also assisting in designing the costumes. Research provides conflicting results in that the identical cast is quoted to have performed at two different venues on precisely the same opening date – at the Union Theatre, Melbourne University, and the Russell Street Theatre, Melbourne. |
