This wicked black comedy will have you asking "what's your damage, Heather?" as bad boy J.D. (Christian Slater) and Veronica (Winona Ryder) serve up teen angst with a side of liquid drainer.

Westerburg High School’s elite clique of popular girls is “The Heathers”. Rounding out the foursome is Veronica Sawyer (Ryder), who is so fed up with the Heathers and the entire peer pressure cooker that she starts running with J.D. (Slater), a mysterious motorcycle-riding newcomer. Their noble effort to rid Westerburg of its bad apples ends up taking a real toll, and their teen rebellion produces a serious and mounting body count.

In a world full of Heathers, be a Veronica.

Part of the Naughton Gallery’s SCREEN/PRINT series in collaboration with QFT and UsFolk, through which illustrators are commissioned to create new posters for their favourite films. Heathers has been selected by illustrator Fatti Burke, with free posters of their illustration available for all ticket holders. SCREEN/PRINT is generously supported by the Queen's Annual Fund.
