about the show

When 59-year-old bachelor farmer Cyril Evans runs a personal ad in Queensland Country Life offering to swap his reconditioned John Deere 9750 combine harvester in return for a wife of “breeding age” – all hell breaks loose!

Cyril’s newspaper ad starts a chain of events with both comical and serious repercussions.

The production includes references to Domestic Violence and should be considered when auditioning for any of the crew or cast roles.
