Opera or Operetta :: A fusion of dance, opera and music, Pleasure's Progress: A tale of Sex! Wigs! Wags! 'n' Bawds explores the vistas and vision of the English painter, printmaker and satirist William Hogarth (1696-1764). Tuckett brings Hogarth's dark pictorial narratives bang up to date, drawing on material from some of his most celebrated work including - A Rake's Progress, Marriage a la mode,, A Harlot's Progress, Four Stages of Cruelty and Beer Street and Gin Lane, combining a vivid slice of historical Covent Garden with contemporary urban life.
