Bruce Beresford will return to Sydney to celebrate the Australian Premiere of LADIES IN BLACK at the historic State Theatre on 10 September 2018.
Beresford will be joined at the Premiere by co-writer and producer Sue Milliken, stars from the film Ryan Corr, Alison McGirr, Shane Jacobson, Noni Hazlehurst, Susie Porter and Celia Massingham and producer Allanah Zitserman.
Based on Madeleine St John’s best-selling novel, the film is set in in Sydney in 1959. The comedy-drama presents an Australia on the very brink of modernity, at a time of great change and optimism. A shy schoolgirl takes a summer job at the prestigious Sydney department store, Goode’s. There she meets the “ladies in black”, who will change her life forever.
“Bruce and I have always believed this film will delight audiences,” said producer and co-writer Sue Milliken in a statement. “It is a life affirming story which is also a lot of fun and is so true to Madeleine St. John’s beautiful novel.”
Also starring Julia Ormond, Angourie Rice, Rachael Taylor and Vincent Perez, it opens in Australian cinemas on 20 September 2018 from Sony Pictures Releasing.
