Rutland Open Air Theatre

The Hall is a private (mostly Victorian) residence but they host this theatre, with the audience under cover, but the actors enduring whatever the English summer throws at them. The resident troupe is Stamford Shakespeare Company and they usually put on two Shakespeare and one or two other plays. Lashing rain is what you might hope for in Macbeth or King Lear, but within a Victorian salon in The Importance of Being Earnest it redefines theatrical boundaries.
