synopsis
Mina Murray-Harker wakes up in the park in the middle of the night; she is freezing cold, partially undressed, and has absolutely no idea what happened.

Your Invisible Corset is a new rewritten expansion of Hunger & Thirst’s 2016 production of Dracula. Inspired by our audience’s feedback that they loved seeing modern feminist themes woven within a traditional monster story, Your Invisible Corset delves deeper into these ideas. While staying true to the original novel, the story is more sharply focused on the struggles of Dracula’s female victims and illuminates how Bram Stoker’s themes regarding Victorian women’s role in society are strikingly relevant even today.
