For a group of Australian schoolgirls, a romantic Valentine's Day outing ends in an intriguing mystery. What has happened to the three seniors and the mathematics teacher on top of the jagged peaks of Hanging Rock? Based on the Joan Lindsay runaway bestseller Picnic at Hanging Rock - the source of the acclaimed Peter Weir film - this exciting play explores a baffling disappearance. Who in the large cast of fascinating characters is responsible for the crime?
A delicate look at crisis, greed and honesty at the turn of the century in Australia. Hauntingly and ironically, the play shows that what seems proper on the outside may be morally corrupt on the inside. The final climactic twist is shocking and bittersweet, with an impact that is unforgettable. Area Staging.
