New York — Picnic at Hanging Rock

A new musical, based on the novel by Joan Lindsay, about the unexplained disappearance of three schoolgirls and a teacher on Valentine's Day 1900, and the ripple effect on the lives of those left behind. 

On Valentine’s Day in 1900, a group of teenage schoolgirls go on a picnic to the forbidding Hanging Rock. Three vanish without a trace.

A tale that came to author Joan Lindsay in a dream, and was brought to international recognition through Peter Weir’s film, PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK unfolds against a backdrop of Australia’s wild natural beauty, exploring the fates of spirited young women determined to navigate the constraints of their futures.

In giving voice to those who have been kept silent, it also brings a compelling First Nations perspective to light.

Moving between the elite Appleyard College for Young Ladies and the striking landscape of Hanging Rock (known by its traditional language groups as Ngannelong), the mystery has captivated people since the book's publication in 1967. It has been adpated in various forms (notably Peter Weir's film), creating a ripple effect of its own.
