Tricia’s Wedding is the world-famous Cockettes’ irreverent reenactment of First Daughter Tricia Nixon’s nuptials to Edward Cox on June 11, 1971.
Television correspondent Hurtme O. Hurtme covers the affair and interviews the star-studded guests, including Queen Elizabeth, Jacqueline Onassis, Barbra Streisand, the pope, Elizabeth Taylor, Coretta King (as played by disco superstar Sylvester), and frisky lovers Prince Charles and Mick Jagger. But when Eartha Kitt spikes the punch with LSD at the reception, all hell breaks loose. Filmed to premiere on the same night as the televised wedding, Tricia’s Wedding is a landmark of queer cinema and San Francisco LGBTQ+ history. This wild political satire even held a secret screening to Nixon’s top aides in a hidden bomb shelter at The White House.
Tricia's Wedding is available for bookings through Frameline Distribution.
