The Deb - Melbourne

We are pleased to invite you and a guest to a special preview screening of Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut, THE DEB, an original musical comedy shot entirely in Australia.

Join us after the screening for a Q&A with guests to be announced.  

The film follows farm girl and high school outcast Taylah Simpkins (Natalie Abbott), who is certain the upcoming local Debutante Ball is her one chance to redefine herself. When her cynical city cousin Maeve (Charlotte MacInnes) is exiled to Taylah's drought-stricken town Dunburn, she thinks the ball is a “heteronormative shit-show” and immediately disrupts the status quo. In their search for the spotlight, Taylah and Maeve dig deep to find self-acceptance, and a date, to the Deb. 

The cast includes Rebel Wilson, Natalie Abbott, Charlotte MacInnes, Stevie Jean, Brianna Bishop, Karis Oka, Tara Morice, Shane Jacobson, Costa D’Angelo, Alex de Crespigny, Ioane Sa’ula, Ben Turland, Hal Cumpston, Stephanie Tisdell, Amanda Kour and Sophea Pennington. Screenplay by Hannah Reilly, with additional writing by Rebel Wilson. The film is produced by Rebel Wilson, Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, Greer Simpkin and David Jowsey.

 Catch it in cinemas from Thursday, April 9.
