Queer Cinema: Vale Tim Curry
Waverley Library, 32-48 Denison St, Bondi Junction, NS, AUOctober's film cannot be named due to copyright restrictions however here is a description of the film to give you a clue.
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.
Brad and Janet have just got engaged and are on their way to share the good news with their old teacher Dr. Scott, when they break down near an old house. Owned by a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania, Dr Frank-N-Furter, who has been making a man with blond hair and a tan.
Get ready to do the time warp again and celebrate the incredible life of Tim Curry in arguably his most iconic role.There will be call and response with props so expect noise and mess!
Don't dream it, be it
