The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race (SOLD OUT)
The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race
By Melanie Tait
Directed by Kathy Petrakis and set in the small Australian country town of Appleton where men
are men, women are women and the biggest annual event is the famous Appleton Potato Race – that’s the way it’s always been.
But things are changing. When the prodigal daughter returns as the new GP and discovers that the famous race awards $1000 prize money for the men and a measly $200 for the women, she takes it
upon herself to restore gender parity, creating a hilarious culture war in her wake. Inspired by real life events, this is a funny, honest and heart-warming story about five different women overturning the potato cart and standing up for their principles.
