THE MALVERN THEATRE COMPANY AND THE COMPASSIONATE FRIENDS VICTORIA PRESENT

‘The Appleton Ladies Potato Race‘
Thursday 13 February 2025
8:00 pm – 11:00 pm

When Penny returns to her hometown of Appleton in NSW to set up as the local GP, she is excited to embrace the town and all its quirky pastimes, including the biggest event of the year, the famous Potato Sack Race. However, when she learns the prize money for the women is 5 times lower than that for the men, well, she just can’t stay silent. But she isn’t prepared for the battles she is about to face …

Inspired by Melanie Tait’s own experiences, ‘Appleton’ tackles gender politics and the fight for equality in an exuberant, warm-hearted comedy. This sparkling play has enjoyed return, sell-out seasons across the country, and has been adapted into a movie. Malvern Theatre Company is delighted to present its first Victorian production.
