Rain stops Shakespeare, in the heat of our Summer?!?!

I took my mum to see "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" perform Romeo & Juliet at Wisley Garden's last night. They were really very good ... as much as we saw of them. The rain came down and the play was abandoned. Steely British spirit abounded, as did some serious amounts of alcohol (plenty of people were determined to have a very jolly night, alas I was driving!). Everyone seemed to have a really fun time which was almost as refreshing to experience as the rain. A very sparky teenager made the observation "Oh well, at least we're not up to our necks in sewage", a very good point well made! The outdoor events at Wisley are really worthwhile. I went to see the Music of Dirty Dancing with some friends a couple of months back and that was really fun (and dry and sunny) ...
