Marquee TV. Yesterday, I posted about the access to Royal Shakespeare Company plays on Marquee TV. This is the company that was putting live performances on the big screen of your local theater. We saw the Bolshoi that way last year. But, when our trip to the U.K. got cancelled by Covid-19, I had despaired of ever getting back to Stratford on Avon to see Shakespeare in the Globe. Through the magic of the Internet, however, I now have access to every performance of the RSC on my home screens. I started Lear last night, and I was blown away by the immediacy of the filming. The next best thing to being there. For a measly $4.95 a month, I not only have access to Shakespeare live; but, many other performances of just about every category of entertainment filmed live around the world.
