Earnest update: The 'Breast Harness'

By now we’re sure many of you are wondering: how will we go about transforming Geoffrey Rush into Lady Bracknell? Over the coming weeks, we’ll be revealing some inside info showing what’s involved – but if you saw Geoffrey on The Project earlier this week, you will have heard a mention about a certain ‘breast harness’.

Here it is…
