Shakespeare may have died 400 years ago, but his works remain alive and kicking -- as many punters who have attended the Pop-Up Globe in Auckland can attest to.

With the Globe on the verge of being taken down and moved off New Zealand shores though, there will be a fair few disappointed not to have experienced the same magic that would have been enjoyed in Shakespeare's time.

However, a creative agency in Auckland has provided the next best alternative -- a 360-degree video that allows viewers to watch some of Shakespeare's classics as though they too were standing in the audience.

Property3D's footage can be watched on any computer or tablet. Mobile devices must be using the Youtube app to get the full immersive experience.
