'Australia, 1900. An ancient land becomes the site of an impossible mystery. A group of schoolgirls and their teachers venture out into the sundrenched landscape, only for four of their number to disappear forever.

'The subsequent investigation creates more questions than answers. One of the girls is found with no memory of what happened to her or her classmates, another succumbs to hysteria for no apparent reason. Those close to the missing girls begin to meet with unfortunate ends and it becomes clear that this is no ordinary disappearance.' (Production summary)

There they meet the all powerful ruler of Venus, The Grug—and learn of his plans to conquer earth. The play with plenty of action, humour and up to the minute songs touches, in a light hearted vein, on many issues confronting modern society.'
