AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'"Serpentine" a rock opera charts the evolution of the world's most notorious undergarment, the corset. From humble beginnings as a means of support and protection from the elements the boned bodice became a volatile, moral battleground reaching a fevered climax in the Victorian era. Today it lives on as a much sought after item of fetish and mainstream fashion, often misunderstood, always an object of awe. "Serpentine" opens this sartorial pandoras box with dark humour, sumptuous costuming and mind blowing classic rock style.'
