Live Shakespeare is set to return to Newby Hall this summer.
Two contrasting productions of tragedies will be staged across the estate near Ripon.
The Victorian Gothic Revival Church of Christ the Consoler will host a high-energy, family-friendly take on Macbeth on Wednesday, August 5, as touring company the HandleBards bring their "hilariously chaotic" version of the tragedy to North Yorkshire.
The production runs from 7pm to around 9pm.
Tickets are £20.50 for adults, £13 for under-21s, and £5 for children aged five and under, with under-fives admitted free.
For those who prefer their Shakespeare al fresco, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men will perform Othello on Friday, August 14, on Newby’s West Lawn.
The play is presented in traditional Elizabethan style with an all-male cast, period costume, music, and dance.
Tickets include access to the gardens from 12 noon, with visitors encouraged to bring picnics and chairs.
Doors open at 6pm, with the performance beginning at 7pm and finishing at approximately 9.30pm.
Tickets are £20 for adults and £12 for children, with free entry for under-fours.
More information and tickets for both productions are available via newbyhall.com/events.
