On St. Valentine's Day in 1900, a party of students and tutors from Mrs Appleyard's girls college set out on a picnic to Hanging Rock. Three of the Australian schoolgirls and their tutor go missing, last seen heading towards the beckoning Rock... In Tom Wright's chilling adaptation of Joan Lindsay's classic novel, five performers explore the story in order to find a solution to the puzzling mystery.
