“Where else are you going to see General Zod, Agent Smith and the guy from Memento as drag queens stranded in the Australian Outback?”
Priscilla showcases the varied talents of the wonderful but usually menacing British actor Terence Stamp, who does a complete turnaround as Bernadette, an aging transsexual who tours the backwaters of Australia with her stage partners, Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) and Adam/Felicia (Guy Pearce). Their act, well-known in Sydney, involves wearing lots of makeup and gowns and lip-synching to records, but Bernadette is getting a bit tired of it all and is also haunted by the bizarre death of an old loved one. Nevertheless, when Mitzi and Felicia get an offer to perform in the remote town of Alice Springs at a casino, Bernadette decides to tag along. The threesome ventures into the outback with the titular Priscilla, a lavender-coloured school bus that doubles as dressing
Recently featured in Vice Magazine and found treading the boards at The Royal Exchange, we’re ecstatic to welcome our special guest EVA SERRATION!
