President Barack Obama commemorated the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death by taking a tour of a replica of the Globe Theatre in London.

The president also saw a brief performance that included an excerpt of the famous "to be or not to be" soliloquy from "Hamlet."

Obama seemed to enjoyed the performance, saying afterwards ""I don't want it to stop. Apparently I have to work."
