But after changing her tampon in a roadside toilet, she accidentally leaves her purse behind in the cubicle.

Press
Tim Minchin's road-trip comedy through the Australian outback continues, and there is yet more drama in store for his unruly pianist Lucky Flynn and unlikely companion Meg. Namely that the pair find themselves out of cash and out of petrol in the baking sun with only Flynn's beloved piano for company.
