Picnic at Hanging Rock

Our most beguiling modern myth, boldly reimagined

Five modern teenage girls recount a story burnt into the Australian psyche. In Tom Wright’s lyrical and daring adaptation, Joan Lindsay’s hypnotic classic becomes a form-shattering mix of storytelling, gossip, and reenactment. Seen through the eyes of STC Resident Director Ian Michael (Stolen, Constellations), “the most exciting new director of this generation” (Limelight), Picnic at Hanging Rock promises an inventive and dreamlike theatre experience like no other.
