LGBT, an organisation that tries to support lesbians,
gays, bisexual and transgender people who live in, work in and travel in
Edinburgh, will host this Australian film.
This comedy-drama film was directed by Stephan Elliot
and tells the story of Anthony
"Tick" Belrose (Hugo Weaving), using the drag pseudonym of Mitzi Del
Bra, is a Sydney-based drag queen who accepts an offer to perform his drag act
at Lasseter's Hotel Casino Resort managed by a female friend named Marion
(Sarah Chadwick) in Alice Springs, a remote town in central Australia. After
persuading his friends and fellow performers, Bernadette Basinger (Terence
Stamp), a recently bereaved transsexual woman, and Adam Whitely (Guy Pearce), a
younger drag queen who goes under the drag name Felicia Jollygoodfellow, to
join him, the three set out in a large tour bus which Adam christens
"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" for a four-week run in the
Australian Outback town.
