First made famous by Peter Weir’s acclaimed film, this bold musical adaptation reinterprets the story through a modern female lens. Set on Valentine’s Day in 1900, a group of schoolgirls embark on a picnic to the mysterious Hanging Rock — and three never return. Inspired by a dream of author Joan Lindsay, Picnic at Hanging Rock unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Australia’s untamed landscape, tracing the struggles of young women yearning for freedom within the confines of their world. By amplifying voices long unheard, the production also integrates a vital First Nations perspective. The result is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of innocence, loss, and the unseen forces that shape who we are and what we become.
