THEY'RE hoping the rain stays mainly on the plain at the Duke's this weekend as this year's play in the park - the Spanish adventure story, Don Quixote - opens to the public.

Artistic Director, Ian Hastings, has picked a mixture of familiar and not so familiar faces for his seven strong cast who will perform in the park to the sounds of authentic flamenco guitar.

Full of adventure and action, comedy and romance - the Dukes are confident the play will prove to be a sure-fire hit this the summer.

Don Quixote runs from July 14 to August 19 and for tickets call 66645.
