It’s 1985. TV prime time. Across Australia, millions of tear-stricken eyes are glued to their television sets in disbelief. A Country Practice’s beloved Molly Jones takes her final breath. Fade to black and she’s gone.
Inside the story room, in a creative flurry powered by coffee, cigarettes and Fantales, the eccentric squad of TV writers have nailed it — they’ve written the perfect death for Australia’s darling. Hearts around the country are broken and forty years later, the pain is only just subsiding.
In this new comedy with Georgie Parker, A Country Practice addict and self-professed fanatic Melanie Tait, imagines what it was like for the writers to pen the episode that became a defining cultural moment in the nation’s TV history. Whether you’re a diehard fan of this iconic TV series or simply a lover of a cracking Australian story, you’ll be rolling in the aisles with laughter at HOW TO PLOT A HIT IN TWO DAYS.
HOW TO PLOT A HIT IN TWO DAYS is a fictional play imagining the machinations of a hypothetical writers’ room. It is not affiliated with the television show A Country Practice.
