Description

“Everything begins and ends at exactly the right time and place”

On a summer’s day in 1900, a group of schoolgirls set out for a picnic at Hanging Rock, a volcanic beauty spot in rural Australia.

But their idyllic day turns tragic when three of the girls and their teacher vanish without trace.

Last seen heading towards the looming rock formation, their disappearance leaves a community suspended between fascination and dread.

In Tom Wright’s haunting adaptation, five performers piece together a story loosely based on real events that slips between memory and myth.

Uncertainty, beauty and terror intertwine in this heady and provocative mystery.
