Shakespeare on-demand: You can now stream or download productions from London’s famous Globe theater

There’s no shortage of niche video-streaming platforms, but the Shakespeare’s Globe has just announced a new super-niche service that lets you rent or buy recordings of performances from the famous London theater.

Typical prices are £3.99 (roughly $6.50) for a rental, which lets you stream from your account for 7 days, or £7.99 (roughly $12.75) to purchase a download. You can search by category (e.g. Comedy, Tragedy, History), and many of the big-hitters seem to be on there, including Hamlet and Macbeth.

More than 50 productions are available at launch, and there is some free stuff on there too, including interviews with actors.
