Cheeky and profound, Matthew Whittet’s Seventeen takes place in a playground on the night after the last day of school. A group of seventeen-year-old friends get together to celebrate, get hammered, to spill secrets, confess love and take a giant step into the unknown.  

But in a theatrical twist, all roles are performed by older actors who were seventeen many years ago, giving them the chance to be what is seldom asked of them anymore – to be vital, hilarious, in love and terrified of the future.  

Seventeen features an all-star Australian cast including Di Smith (A Country Practice, Puberty Blues, Wellmania), Katrina Foster (Seachange, All Saints, While The Men Are Away), Di Adams (Troppo, While The Men Are Away), Noel Hodda (Sons And Daughters, Janet King), Peter Kowitz (Crownies, Janet King, Bodysurfers, Packed To The Rafters) and Colin Moody (Peter Rabbit, The Chronicles Of Narnia, Something In The Air).
