This month, QCCMTL takes you aboard a big coach bus headed deep into the Australian desert with The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), a cult dramedy where glamour, camp, and queer resilience take the wheel.
Beneath the wigs, glitter, and sweeping landscapes lies the story of two drag queens and a trans woman crossing the country for a performance, but more than that, to find themselves. Featuring unforgettable performances by Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp, Priscilla celebrates friendship, flamboyance, and the strength it takes to live on the margins in a world that isn't always kind.
A dazzling tribute to drag and chosen family, Priscilla remains, 30 years later, a bold and heartfelt queer anthem.
