Dr. Evadne Hinge and Dame Hilda Bracket were the stage personae of the English musical performance and female impersonation artists George Logan and Patrick Fyffe, who toured to Australia under the title Hinge and Bracket. Active in theatre, radio and television between 1972 and Fyffe's death in 2002, this comedic partnership entertained the public in the guise of two elderly eccentric spinsters, living genteel lives in the village of Stackton Tressel and seemingly celebrating their former "careers" on the provincial operatic stage. The two ladies generally performed together, but on rare occasions did appear separately, although George Logan declined to continue the characterisation of Dr. Hinge after Fyffe died. Hinge and Bracket toured to Australia in 1976, 1980, 1988, and in 1989 with their show "The Importance of Being Earnest".
