[1] Logan described his sense of alienation in a 2016 interview with Gay News, and recalled that reading about the experiences Oscar Wilde and Peter Wildeblood caused him great concern as a teenager (homosexuality was still illegal in Scotland at the time).

At the time, Fyffe was performing his cabaret drag act as a glamorous soprano named Perri St Claire.

The original idea was that Fyffe would play a retired opera singer who still thinks she can sing, with Logan as her male accompanist, still dressed in men's clothes.

[4][5][6][7] In his role as Dr Evadne Hinge, George Logan played the piano accompaniment to Dame Hilda Backet's operatic solos.

[8] Much of the comedy rested on the constant bickering between the two characters; Evadne played the "straight woman", providing the voice of reason and frequently sardonic retorts to Dame Hilda's extrovert performance.

[3] They developed plausible back stories for the characters, living in the fictional English country village of Stackton Tressel.

Logan and Fyffe subsequently went on tour, taking their show to London theatres such as the Royal Court and the May Fair and the Ambassadors.

[8] The Hinge and Bracket act was distinct from drag queens in that their portrayal was more realistic, appearing on stage resplendent in cocktail dresses and lisle stockings, and this enabled them to gain more mainstream appeal beyond gay clubs.

[13][14] Gyles Brandreth later recounted that, at a charity gala appearance at the Oxford Playhouse, co-stars Dame Peggy Ashcroft and Flora Robson believed Hinge and Bracket to be two elderly lesbians.

[4] After the death of Patrick Fyffe in 2002, Logan retired the character of Dr Hinge, but briefly returned her to the stage for the comic opera The Dowager's Oyster in 2016.

[15] Logan wrote a humorous book entitled The Naked Doctor (2014), supposedly written as an autobiographical account by Dr Evadne Hinge of her life and stage career.
