Join Australia’s own circus queen Grace Lightning in this genre-bending mashup of camptastic drag, spooktacular physical theatre, and extraordinary circus.
When the opportunity of a lifetime comes her way, Grace and her two best drag-friends must embark on a road trip through the great Australian outback. Dodging deadly snakes, spiders and bigoted cryptids, they stumble upon a solitary farm house. Inside, they are thrown into a nightmare scenario, hunted by a chainsaw-wielding bushranger. But are these monsters really what they seem... ?
Final Queen is an unhinged mashup of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Texas Chainsaw Massacre! Expect haunted acrobatics, blood soaked hula hooping, and a whole lot of hair-raising hilarity. This is a fever dream of glitz, glamour, and extraordinary circus oozing with all your favourite horror tropes on the small stage. In a time where queer bodies and freedoms feel increasingly under threat, Final Queen is a story about navigating danger with defiant, queer joy. Witness Grace as she battles the supernatural horrors of the Australian wilderness, and that bit of her lace front that won’t quite stay glued down!
