The forecast, after ten days of dry weather, was for some serious rain and neither the weather or the production disappointed us. After 45 minutes of performances on stage the weather delivered its own performance - the heavens opened but the actors didn't miss a cue and carried on regardless. Despite us being soaked it didn't dampen our enjoyment because this was a truly wonderful production with some superb acting. Shakespeare is not only about the poetry of the words but also the expressions and asides of the actors away from the main action and this production used the characters to excellent effect.

Culture comes to Lincoln and we loved the whole experience. It was a bit of a damp ride home but the heated seats helped to ease the discomfort.
