I caught the opening of the mini-production of Hamlet in SL on February 28th. The theatre was packed
, which was great for the actors, but not so great for lag. I reported on this experience on the CNN iReport in SL blog.
In today’s meeting at the CNN Amphitheater, Henry iReport pointed out that a video clip of the same scene was available on YouTube. Although it’s not a clip of the actual production, it is the same scene, in the same location. At least, the costumes are visible. Thanks to Inacentaur for posting it.

The project is an interesting experiment, but I could not imagine watching a four hour production of Hamlet this way.
Hi Will,
I agree with you. The technology is not quite there yet in SL, and probably won’t be for awhile. But I think it’s great that we’ve come this far.
Thanks for the post! 🙂
