Reel Life Matinee: Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

Three fabulous souls, one lavender bus named Priscilla, and the Australian Outback - what could possibly go right? Everything.

Come along to enjoy The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the iconic 1994 Aussie road comedy that sashayed into Cannes and straight into cult classic history. Follow Mitzi, Bernadette, and Felicia as they road-trip from Sydney to Alice Springs in heels higher than their expectations, serving looks, lip-syncs, and a masterclass in resilience.

It’s drag. It’s drama. It’s a desert disco with more sequins than sense, and a story that’s still as sharp, joyful and unapologetically queer as ever.

So grab your glitter and a friend. We’re going bush, darling. And we’re going in style.

What happens on the bus, stays on the bus. (But you can tell everyone you had a fabulous time.)
