Picnic at Hanging Rock: Songs from the new musical
World premiere of a selections of songs from the forthcoming stage musical adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s iconic Australian novel, Picnic at Hanging Rock, made famous as a film by Peter Weir ('Dead Poets Society', 'The Truman Show') and later a Netflix TV series starring Natalie Dormer.
Picnic at Hanging Rock tells the story of three schoolgirls and their teacher who, on Valentine’s Day, 1900, vanish at Hanging Rock.
