Yes, someone's putting on a performance of Hamlet within virtual world Second Life. The SL Shakespeare Company, to be specific. And they're doing it within a proper reproduction of the Globe Theatre, and using motion capture and swizzy artificial intelligence too.
The play will feature historically accurate costumes (none of yer modern experimental rubbish!), and the company is even looking into the possibility of using real-time lip-synching - useful given the audience's ability to zoom in for a close look at the actors. It's set to kick off next year.
