Picnic At Hanging Rock

This OUTDOOR production is set in the 1900s and begins with a romantic Valentine's Day outing that ends in an intriguing mystery for a group of schoolgirls and their teachers. 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 adapted by Laura Annawyn Shamas and produced with permission from Dramatic Publishing, this unnerving play explores a baffling disappearance that takes its toll on a small community in the Australian countryside. A delicate look at crisis, greed, and honesty at the turn of the century, Picnic at Hanging Rock invites its viewers to examine the people of Woodend and the consequences of their actions. Hauntingly and ironically, the play shows that what seems pristine and proper on the outside may not be free of moral corruption on the inside. The final climactic twist is shocking and bittersweet, with an impact that is unforgettable.
