Theatre Talk || A shrewd, big hearted love letter to the women of country New South Wales

"The Appleton Ladies' Potato Race is a comedy about our relationship to both history and change. Through the lens of five female characters living in rural Australia we look in on ourselves as a nation. It's a funny play with a huge heart that is not afraid to pack a punch. It is about rejection and acceptance; seeing the world as it really is, warts and all, and at the same time, daring to ask if it can be something more. We've been dreaming big through our little play.

"In the 21st century, we, as Australians, are continually stepping-up to participate in global conversations, around privilege and gender parity - THE APPLETON LADIES' POTATO RACE gently provokes conversation around owning and celebrating our past while continuing to question our relationship with generational and social/political change.

"This is a play that will entertain, reflect who we are and also ask questions about who we are becoming as Australians. More than anything though, THE APPLETON LADIES' POTATO RACE will be a cracking great night at the theatre!" - Director, Priscilla Jackman
