It’s a good morrow for Shakespeare fans.
BritBox, the streaming service for all things British, is letting Americans binge the complete catalog from BBC Television Shakespeare, which presented star-studded adaptations of the Bard’s work in the 1970s and 1980s. The subscription-based streaming service—a co-venture between BBC Studios and ITV—says this is the first time all 37 adaptations will be available to stream in one place.
The series originally ran for seven seasons. It launches in full on BritBox this coming Tuesday, May 26.
“As a huge Shakespeare connoisseur, selfishly I wanted this for myself,” said BritBox CEO Soumya Sriraman in a statement.” I hope everyone feels the same.”
BritBox costs $7 a month and is compatible with popular devices like Roku and Apple TV. If you’re curious, you can try it out for a week for free.
So if you’re running out of cultural vegetables during these dog days of coronavirus lockdown, you can now enjoy all the William Shakespeare you want. Let’s face it—we’ll all be trapped inside for forever and a day, anyway.
