Description The Doll is a strong drama in the Australian idiom, by Ray Lawler, As such, it should have special appeal to local audiences. Lawler has mixed into the Australian scene, seven truly Australian characters caught up in the drama of their lives. The drama is lightened by some moments of pure comedy, moments which seem to be reinforced by the Australian vernacular.
