Victorian evening at the British Library
For those of you sad to see all the Steampunk events happening in America,
the British Library is having a Victorian evening of its own.
The webpage tells us it will be:
A frisky, witty and beautifully-staged night of Victoriana with a burlesque twist. Come and see the Points Of View: Capturing the 19th Century in Photographs exhibition and enjoy live comedy, high tease and musical revue sending up the eccentric morals, ethics and values of Empire; rousing music from Oompah Brass, bizarre sideshows, wandering characters and a chance to be photographed in costume in our special 19th-century studios.
Fri 20 Nov 2009, 19.00 - 23.00
Entrance Hall, British Library
Price: £7.50
