Stratford's Royal Shakespeare Theatre is staging a production of Twelfth Night which began a six-month run on Friday.
And tomorrow sees the start of a second long-running production, William Wycherley's Love in a Wood at Swan Theatre.
Guy Henry, who has performed in more than 10 productions since joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1991, will play Malvolio with Zoe Waites as Viola.
This role will be Zoe's third Shakespearean heroine for the RSC, following an acclaimed performance as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, for which she received an Ian Charleston Award nomination.
Twelfth Night also stars Matilda Ziegler as Olivia, known for her role as Mr Bean's girlfriend in the film and television series.
Love in a Wood is a restoration comedy written shortly after the great plague and fire of London.
Tickets for both productions cost £5-£42 from the box office on 01789 403403.
