THE acclaimed Festival Players return to Leighton Hall on Friday, July 25 (7.30pm) performing one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most powerful works, Macbeth.

The hall’s grounds and gardens will be transformed into a Scottish Castle, a heath and moving forest for the alfresco, bewitching two-hour production of superstition, ambition, and retribution with music written especially by Johnny Coppin.

Tickets are available on 01524-734474.
