The Nomad Cinema presents The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Event information

Don your most flamboyant outfit and join our own cast of drag queens for this outrageous transsexual dramedy that won the hearts of audiences around the world.

Sashaying in the slipstream of Strictly Ballroom (Zippos Circus Finsbury Park - Sun 3 April), The Nomad presents another bright, brash splash of fabulous circus cinema from down under. Priscilla burst into mainstream consciousness in 1994, blitzing the box office and introducing audiences worldwide to the unique universe and joie de vivre of 3 wonderful drama queens, Mitzi, Felicia and Bernadette - brilliantly portrayed by (now) Hollywood heavyweights, Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp and Hugo Weaving.

Part-funded by the Australian Tourist Board, the film washes over you like some kind of vividly surreal Stoli-induced waking-dream advert for the Outback, combining gloriously rich landscape cinematography with way-over-the-top, sensational, Oscar-winning costumes.

The script is full of brilliantly bitchy, razor-sharp dialogue and a 'guilty pleasures' soundtrack guaranteed to have you dancing in the aisles, mouthing along and reaching out for the drag queen inside. So round up your girlfriends, your boyfriends and join us for an unforgettable (or 'forgotten') evening under the Big Top...
