Booking to 8 April 2017
The UK premiere of Seventeen at the Lyric Hammersmith.
Funny, wise and a little bit sad, Seventeen will turn our notions of adulthood and adolescence on their head.
Acclaimed Australian writer Matthew Whittet’s unique play sees a cast of veteran stage actors take on the role of a group of teenagers.
Set in that time after the end of the last day of school, but just before everyone moves on. It’s about the cusp of adulthood, the cusp of complete change.
This is the first UK Production of Seventeen following its smash hit run in Australia at Sydney’s celebrated Belvoir Theatre.
A Lyric Hammersmith production in association with Belvoir, Sydney.
Seventeen runs from 4 March 2017 until 8 April 2017 at the Lyric Hammersmith.
