We started a segment on The Daily Circuit called Roaming and Reading. It's a mash-up of two things Kerri loves: literature and travel.

In this installment, we look at Shakespeare's Globe in London undertaking a worldwide tour of "Hamlet." They plan to bring the play to every country in honor of the 450th anniversary of William Shakespeare's birthday.

We talk about the play and some of the most famous Shakespeare pilgrimage sites.
