At-home learning #40

Go to the theatre on YouTube

* The Globe Theatre in London is releasing videos of selected productions free. This is a big deal; their videos have been expensive rentals or purchases before now. Plays change every two weeks. "Romeo and Juliet" is currently playing; "MacBeth" is still available, as is "Twelfth Night" with Mark Rylance as the love-hungry Olivia. Search "Globe Theatre."

* NT Live was an early and much-welcomed contributor to free streaming theater. Their terrific productions are always thought-provoking. Plays change each Thursday evening and are available for a week. Current offering: "Twelfth Night." Still available: the farce "One Man, Two Guvs," with James Corden, and "Treasure Island." Search "nt live" on YouTube.
