Lincoln’s Inn is always a pleasant place to pass a little time in the sun, which must explain why theatre group the AB&C Company has chosen it to house its outdoor performances of a number of the Bard’s masterworks this summer.

Unfortunately, given the amount of backstabbing, unnatural deeds, and ‘villains with a smiling cheek’ usually to be found in the Inn, the audience could be forgiven for failing to differentiate between the plays and reality.
