$1 FROM EACH TICKET will go towards the restoration of the original Priscilla, which is being restored by the History Trust of South Australia and will then reside at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood. After filming had ended, the whereabouts of Priscilla was unknown. Priscilla had been left to the elements for approximately 16 years and was exposed to bushfires in late 2019/early 2020. In what can only be described as a miracle, Priscilla avoided extensive fire damage. She was meant to survive. If you'd like to give more, you can do so by clicking here.
SYNOPSIS
When drag queen Anthony (Hugo Weaving) agrees to take his act on the road, he invites fellow cross-dresser Adam (Guy Pearce) and transsexual Bernadette (Terence Stamp) to come along. In their colorful bus, named Priscilla, the three performers travel across the Australian desert performing for enthusiastic crowds and homophobic locals. But when the other two performers learn the truth about why Anthony took the job, it threatens their act and their friendship.
