You may already know that the Luzon-wide Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) has been extended again until May 15. With that, whether you have a list of plans or not on how to get through this extended ECQ, you might as well add a space for Shakespeare because Globe Theatre is streaming Shakespeare’s greatest plays for free on YouTube!
