Written by Melanie Tait, this warm-hearted Australian comedy-drama set in the small country town of Appleton, where the annual potato race is a long-standing tradition. For years, the race has awarded the men's race winner $1,000, while the ladies’ race winner only wins $200 — until newly returned local GP Penny Anderson questions the rule.
Directed by Ian Smith and brought to life by your favourite local performers, this show is filled with humour, heart, and recognisable country-town characters. The play explores friendship, resilience, and the challenges of changing long-held traditions while celebrating community spirit.
