YOUR INVISIBLE CORSET

​"...I really think being involved--doing something--anything--to fight back will help. Lying in a hospital bed, with nothing to do except think about what he did to Lucy and me...is not going to help. Feeling helpless and powerless never helps anyone."

​​​SYNOPSIS

Mina Murray-Harker wakes up with a terrified gasp as her panicked husband carries her into the hospital; at first, she has no idea what happened to her. But hazy images slowly emerge out of the fog: a wooden stake, a telltale scarf hiding her best friend's neck, a dark mysterious creature sweetly kissing her mouth...

Your Invisible Corset is a modern-day female-focused adaptation of Dracula. While staying true to the original novel, the story remains sharply focused on the struggles of Dracula’s female victims, illuminating how Bram Stoker’s themes regarding Victorian women’s role in society are hauntingly relevant even today.
​
