AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
In Hollywood’s Golden Age, two queens reigned supreme — Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Before Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? lit up cinemas, their off-camera rivalry was already a blockbuster.
With Jeanette Cronin (DARK VOYAGER) as Bette Davis and Lucia Mastrantone (MASTER CLASS) as Joan Crawford, take a front row seat to an iconic battle of barbs, ambition and brilliance. BETTE & JOAN captures the vulnerability and venom of two extraordinary women fighting for relevance — and one last moment in the spotlight.
2hr. Incl. 1 interval.
Ages 14+.
