In this, the first-ever exclusive arts documentary about a living legend, our cameras probe and etch the enigma which is Dame Edna.
Meet her in the privacy of her fabulously appointed penthouse suite atop the Dorchester Hotel, London, Wl. Witness the fabled finale of her current West End hit, A Night with Dame Edna. Visit her Melbourne home suburb, Moonee Ponds, now a national monument, and suffer with her the tears, terror and triumph as she claws her way to the top.
Dame Edna talks fearlessly about her fame, her wealth and her humility, whilst wearing no less than ten unique couturier-simulated gowns. And much, much more.
Dame Edna Everage is a division of the Barry Humphries group.
