The SL Shakespeare Company opened tonight at The Globe Theatre in Second Life. Its first mini-production, Act I, Sc. 1 of Hamlet was enthusiastically received by the crowd of some 50 + patrons. Though the costumes did not quite materialize due to lag, the voices were clear and well-rehearsed. There's still time to catch this 15 minute production. See schedule below. The Globe Theatre is located in SLiterary.

The mini Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 1 performance was a delight and nice change from typical live entertainment in sl. The Globe Theatre actors are costumed beautifully and read Shakespeare to near perfection for a dress rehearsal. Bravo!

Thanks! BTW, there were 3 audience sims, and at least one of them were full - so ~150 to 300 audience members!
