Penny, a GP returns home from Sydney to discover that the town’s annual potato race still has separate categories for men and women with $1,000 for the men and only $200 for the women. As Penny pushes for change, the play explores friendship, community dynamics, and the courage it takes to stand up for fairness in the face of long-held traditions.
The characters are quirky, relatable, and full of heart, bringing both humour and touching moments as the town grapples with what equality really means. With its blend of sharp wit and genuine warmth, the play celebrates resilience, community spirit, and the power of speaking up — all wrapped in an entertaining story that leaves audiences smiling and thinking long after the final curtain.
