Dressing Lady Macbeth: An Exhibition | Smallhythe Place

Rediscover gems of the 1888 Lyceum Theatre production of 'Macbeth' in an intimate exhibition which brings together significant items for the first time in several decades.

Following a period of conservation by the National Trust's Textile Conservation Studio, Ellen Terry's sumptuous Banqueting dress will once again take centre stage alongside her elaborate crown, annotated scripts and props used by Henry Irving as Macbeth.
