A theatre company is set to end open-air performances on a Dorset island after 60 years.

Brownsea Open Air Theatre's annual Shakespeare productions have attracted thousands to the National Trust-owned Brownsea Island each summer.

The theatre company says a dispute over the use of a temporary auditorium means future shows are "financially unviable" - and this summer's performance of Macbeth will be its last on the island.

The National Trust says it's "considering the impact" of shows on the island's nature and wildlife - and hopes to continue its long history with the theatre company on future plans for a natural amphitheatre on the island.
