 Can schools use Globe Player?

Due to our licensing agreements, schools and any other viewers who would like to use Globe Player for educational purposes need to access our titles through Drama Online.  However, we do frequently make our Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank productions, created especially for young people, available to watch online, for free.
