“I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.” This month Women & Cocaine salutes the most scandalous woman ever with an evening celebrating the original Queen of Camp!
She was an actress, playwright, screenwriter, and sex symbol, famous for her bawdy double entendres. The month of May belongs to MAE WEST as we screen her classic ‘She Done Him Wrong’ from 1933 and immerse you in Mae's world.
West plays Burlesque barroom singer Lady Lou, a woman who knows everyone in town, especially the men. Unfortunately, her convict ex-boyfriend Chick, is the jealous type and vows violence against her if she behaves unfaithfully while he's in prison. To make matters worse, Lou's boss, Gus, secretly runs a prostitution and counterfeiting ring, and the director of the city mission next door is actually a federal agent (played by Cary Grant in his breakout role)
Doors open at 18.30, for a 19.30 start. Seating is unallocated.
There are a few disabled parking spaces directly outside the main door of the venue - please contact us to let us know if you need one.
Service dogs welcome.
Unfortunately, this film screening does not have closed captions or audio description available.
Refreshments: The venue operates a small bar/cafe with basic snacks, soft drinks, beer and wine at very reasonable prices.
