The Appleton Ladies Potato Race - Presented by Constable Productions


  • Mountview Theatre 56 Smith Street Macedon, VIC, 3440 Australia (map)

Written by Melanie Tait
Directed by Mark Constable

When Penny Anderson, the town’s new GP, returns to her childhood home of Appleton, she’s shocked to find the local potato race prize still sits at $1000 for men and just $200 for women. Determined to change this outdated tradition, she sets out on a mission to even the playing field. But not everyone is on board, especially the no-nonsense Bev, who sees Penny as another city slicker disrupting country ways.

Director Mark Constable presents this hilarious and uplifting production featuring a talented cast of five women, the play takes a sharp yet affectionate look at small-town life, change, and the fight for equality.

This multi award-winning cast includes international theatre actors and Macedon Ranges locals Sophie Cleary & Sharni Page, along with the much loved and renowned Shayne Francis, Sheila Kumar and Australian industry legend, Margot Knight.
