The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert 30th Anniversary

Join us for a spectacular 30th-anniversary screening of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the vibrant and heart-warming tale that has captivated audiences for three decades. This iconic film follows the adventures of two drag queens, Mitzi Del Bra (Hugo Weaving) and Felicia Jollygoodfellow (Guy Pearce), along with their transgender friend Bernadette Bassenger (Terence Stamp), as they embark on a cross-country journey in their battered, yet fabulously adorned bus, Priscilla.

Setting off from Sydney to perform a drag show in the remote town of Alice Springs, the trio faces a series of unexpected encounters and challenges, from mechanical breakdowns to the prejudices of outback townsfolk. Along the way, they encounter colourful characters, dazzling landscapes, and each other’s pasts, ultimately forging stronger bonds of friendship and acceptance.

With its unforgettable costumes, timeless soundtrack, and powerful message of self-discovery and acceptance, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert remains a landmark film in LGBTQ+ cinema. Experience the magic, the music, and the majesty of this trailblazing journey once more as we celebrate 30 fabulous years of Priscilla.
