Shakespeare fans are being invited to enjoy outdoor performances of two of the Bard’s most dramatic plays at Darlington’s Head of Steam railway museum.

There will be five performances in all, to be held as follows:
Thursday 30 June at 7pm – Macbeth
Friday 1 July at 7pm – Hamlet
Saturday 2 July at 4.30pm – Macbeth; and at 7pm – Hamlet
Sunday 3 July at 4.30pm – Macbeth
Sarah Gouldsbrough, Acting Manager at the Head of Steam, said:
