Polyester - Presented in Odorama! movie poster

Experience John Waters first studio picture Polyester, a brilliant subversive take on the Hollywood melodrama, as it was meant to be seen - and smelled!

Enhanced with Odorama technology that enables you to scratch and sniff along with Francine, Polyester is one of Waters' most hilarious inventions, replete with stomach-churning smells, sadistic nuns, AA meetings, and foot stomping galore.

Don't forget to dress the part for a free choc top.

Tickets include scratch 'n' sniff Odorama cards, re-created by scent-designer Erin Adams from Smell Art! There is a limited supply of Odorama cards so book early.

Complete the Divine experience with canapés, Polyester trivia, dinner and after party tunes and dancing at the Victoria and Albert Guesthouse afterwards! Plus prizes for Best Dressed and Trivia Winner!

Hubby Elmer (David Samson) owns an adult theatre and is carrying on an affair with a secretary. Rounding out the household is a delinquent teenage son and a pregnant teen daughter. But her life gets a make over when she meets Todd Tomorrow (Tab Hunter), the owner of an art house theatre.

"Polyester stands firmly as a gateway between the gross-out films of Waters' past and the soft-hearted sentimentalist ones that were to come." SPECTRUM CULTURE

"This time, John Waters has outdone himself: Polyester is a double-knit delight." PHILADELPHIA GAY NEWS
