I ran across this article on the GoodEreader blog:

It's one of the best, most innovative examples I've seen of how enhanced e-books can provide an entirely new way to experience literature. It's currently available only on iTunes but the publisher says it will come to Amazon in mid-October.
From the publisher's press release: "For the first time, students and Shakespeare lovers alike can experience text and performance simultaneously. The new Wordplay Shakespeare series puts the Bard's words and filmed performances side by side in innovative versions of the plays created just for tablet computers....These are not your average Ebooks with mere words on a screen. Rather, Wordplay Shakespeare combines text, film, translation notes and other tools to reimagine the reading experience."
Here's the full press release:
