Lincoln Cathedral is being transformed into a Victorian laboratory for a series of special performances.
Lincoln Theatre Company is putting on a 10-day run of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical at the historic building from next Tuesday.
It's not for profit either, with all the money raised from ticket sales going back into the cathedral.
Director Ben Poole says performing in what he says is "arguably the best building in the world" can only make the show even better:
Quote MessageIt lends something to performers and the audience. It's a place for being emotional and, with a show like Jekyll and Hyde, it guarantees a real rollercoaster of a ride."

You've been having your say on the raw milk vending machines set to arrive in Lincolnshire:
Quote MessageThere will always be a risk but there is a risk when you get out of bed in the morning!"
Helen Banham, via Facebook
Quote MessagePossibly for people who have always drunk raw milk the risks are low, but for most of us who have only ever had pasteurised milk then it's more likely we would be susceptible to infection. No thanks!"
Donna Allen, via Facebook
Quote MessageJust ask yourself...why did we pasteurise it in the first place?
Paul Jepson, via Facebook
Quote MessageIt tastes like milk did as a kid. It has cream on the top...and it has so much flavour."

Read MoreA woman can get rid of her child's middle name because of its "association with a notorious public figure", a judge in Lincoln has ruled.
The mother argued the name, which cannot be known for legal reasons, was "infected with bad connotations".
The father objected to the change as he preferred the middle name, but a family court ruled it could be dropped.
At a previous hearing, a judge said continued use of the name "would damage the child's emotional welfare".
The child's father had appealed against a decision from a less senior judge, but Judge Mark Rogers dismissed this.
In a family court in Lincoln, the judge said the name was "not eccentric or in itself offensive".
But he ruled the "association" was enough to allow the mother to drop the middle name.

All planes flying with the Coningsby-based Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) have been grounded due to a technical issue, it's been announced.
Image source, RAFThe problem is "related to the Merlin engine" - which powers aircraft including the Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane - but "affects all current and serviceable display aircraft", the BBMF says.
Although there's no word yet on how long it'll take to fix the problem, it comes ahead of the first ever airshow at RAF Scampton which is due to be held in early September.
The event is due to include planes from the BBMF, which has a total of 12 historical aircraft, including a Lancaster - one of only two left flying in the world.

More now on the raw milk vending machines which are set to be introduced in Spital-in-the-Street.

A Lincolnshire mum has cautiously welcomed news that hospitals in the county will again be able to give some form of diagnosis for autism.
Sarah Stewart has been waiting a year for her son to be diagnosed because the hospitals trust didn't meet health watchdog guidelines and axed the diagnosis service.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust said yesterday it would move back to full diagnosis by the end of the week.
Mrs Stewart says a lot of people have been left in limbo while the diagnosis service was unavailable:
Quote MessageIf they're going to bring in a new system then that's great... but to just cut one service dead before implementing another just leaves so many families completely stuck."
Sarah Stewart
