..a dark romance

..a supernatural mystery

.....schools out forever

The musical explores the events leading to the disappearance of three senior girls and their maths teacher on an innocent sunday afternoon's investigation of a nearby geological curiosity, The Hanging Rocks.

"A genuinely striking, distinctly unsettling and very provocative piece of musical theatre...one week later and the scenes are still going round in my head "

Paul Hewitt Observer,Chichester

 

 

The drama....fast moving, filmic, joyous and heart-breaking. Big scenes keeping all the cast involved throughout.

The music ..provides challenging and interesting chorus and solo pieces ranging from strong company numbers and haunting ballads to contemporary aboriginal-based songs for the Watchers.

The dance...the Watchers never leave the stage. Their menacing dance and movement reinforces and enhances the story every step of the way.

...the script and score were perfect for a youth theatre cast with many dynamic female roles.... a great piece to dissect with young people...  The score for the piece really helped me to get a sense of the period and setting. .. loved how classical atmospheres were juxtaposed against aboriginal inspired drum music.  ... Production was excellent, showcasing the strength of the script and score ..
