As well as the National Theatre, Shakespeare’s Globe is doing something very similar and is creating digital content for fans to enjoy.
Their platform Globe Player will host free content including six filmed productions, 37 short films from ‘The Complete Walk’, and titles in a multitude of languages from the 2012 Globe to Globe festival.
As well as this content, they will also offer a new digital series from Sandi and Jenifer Toksvig, and Kathryn Hunter, called Shakespeare & Love in Isolation, as well as a celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday on April 23.
For the celebration, Oscar-winning actor Mark Rylance will take fans on a virtual ‘Shakespeare Walk’ as a physical gathering isn’t possible.
