THE DRESSMAKER Gala Previews |
|
We hope you can join us for our special advance Gala Events of THE DRESSMAKER starring Kate Winslet and Liam Hemsworth on October 22.
Set in the 1950s, The Dressmaker is a bittersweet comedy about a glamorous woman who returns, after many years in Europe, to her small home town in rural Australia in order to right some wrongs from the past. When Tilly (Kate Winslet) comes home, she not only reconciles with her ailing mother Molly (Judy Davis) but, with her sewing machine, and haute couture style, she transforms women of the town in such a way that she gets sweet revenge on those who did her wrong. She also falls unexpectedly in love, which leads to her greatest loss and her most destructive deed. Based on the best-selling novel by Rosalie Ham, this is the welcome return to directing by Jocelyn Moorhouse (How To Make An American Quilt).

The residents of London Road had struggled for years with frequent soliciting and kerb-crawling on their street.
