In 2016 I performed in PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK which was a co-pro between the Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne and Black Swan State Theatre Company in Perth at the State Theatre Centre of WA.
The show toured to The Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh in January 2017.
Here is a bonus video of me talking about stuff with the ever articulate and wonderful Nikki Shiels and Elizabeth Nabben.

ABOUT
Picnic at Hanging Rock / has haunted the Australian psyche for over a century. One summer’s day in 1900, three schoolgirls and a teacher inexplicably vanished, never to be seen again. The trip was supposed to be a Saint Valentine’s Day treat. They were supposed to be home for dinner.
In Tom Wright’s chilling adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s classic novel, five performers will struggle to solve the mystery of the missing girls and their teacher. Euphoria and terror will reverberate throughout Appleyard College, as the potential for history to repeat itself becomes nightmarishly real.
Picnic at Hanging Rock is a story that defies explanation, a story that / proves that horror is a warm, sunny day.
