MTC RETROGRADE x CINEMA NOVA  In collaboration with Melbourne Theatre Company and their upcoming production of Retrograde, join us for event screenings of GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER. Premiering in Australia, Retrograde explores a pivotal moment in Poitier’s early career, bringing to life his defining encounter with Hollywood powerbrokers.

After a 10-day Hawaiian vacation, Joanna Drayton (Katharine Houghton) returns to her San Francisco home with John Prentice (Sidney Poitier), her brand-new fiancé. Although he's a successful doctor and a Nobel Prize candidate, her parents, Christina (Katharine Hepburn) and Matthew (Spencer Tracy), are taken aback when they discover John is black.

Catch Melbourne Theatre Company's Retrograde from 16 May to 27 June at Arts Centre Melbourne.
