If the audience numbers were anything to go by, organisers of Shakespeare in the Park can be justifiably proud.
They trotted out four performances in all of William Shakespeare's Macbeth from an outdoor set erected in the lower reserve at Bason Botanic Park.
The first show on Thursday was to local schools with public performances on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.
Karen Craig, who directed the production, was thrilled with the audiences, which totalled about 1000 over the four shows.
The performances dovetailed with the Great Bason Fair at the reserve yesterday, which itself had an Elizabethan theme in keeping with the Bard's play.
