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.
Anton Burge's deliciously wicked two-hander pulls back the curtain on the set where egos clashed, tempers flared, and a legendary feud hit boiling point.
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.
Australian premiere.
