This spooky season, peek inside Cecil B. DeMille’s bizarro masterpiece Madam Satan.

Madam Satan has been called one of the oddest films DeMille made and certainly one of the oddest MGM made during Hollywood’s “golden age”.

Despite its occult-sounding title, Madam Satan is musical comedy that tells the story of a married couple, Angela and Bob, who are in the midst of a relationship crisis. When Angela discovers Bob is straying, she decides it’s time to teach him a lesson and disguises herself as a mysterious devil women in an outfit that reveals more than conceals, where she attends a masquerade ball in the hopes of seducing her husband.

The film gets weirder and more wonderfully excessive as it goes along. There are elaborate song and dance routines, flirtations with electricity, and actors dressed in boundary-pushing and visually stunning costumery (Gowns by Adrian) that were far beyond their time.

Come join us in this beautifully historic Grade II listed venue for an introduction, then screening of the film and exclusive raffle!
