A random aside on amusing uses of corsetry: after the second Mort show, when Terry has hanging around and talking to the cast, he mentioned seeing one production of Wyrd Sisters in which the duchess (in case you're not aware, Wyrd Sisters is loosely based on Macbeth, except in this case it's the duke going slowly mad and his wife on a power trip, not the other way around) wore a corset that managed to push her ample bosom up so far as to form a more or less flat surface. During one of his longer rants the duke put down his goblet of wine on this "table" before wandering off across the stage, and the attention of the audience was suddenly riveted, not on his monologue, but on the feat of balance going on behind him for several minutes until he picked up his cup again...
