To download or not to download, perchance to stream... that is the question a new digital project hopes to solve by making performances of Shakespeare's plays available to a global audience on demand for the first time. London's Globe Theatre has made over 50 productions available to download as full-length high-definition films on its dedicated online platform, in what it said Tuesday was a world first. Among the plays featured is a highly acclaimed production of "Twelfth Night", starring British actors Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry, as well as Roger Allam's award-winning performance in "Henry IV, Part 1" and "Henry IV, Part 2". "The Globe is always looking for bold new ways to take Shakespeare out into the world and share his astonishing plays with as many people as possible," said the theatre's artistic director, Dominic Dromgoole.
