Live action theatre on facebook/Twitter

[sobrique]

A thought that crossed my mind this weekend - could you do a piece of theatre or performance art using Facebook or Twitter? Y'know, create a scripted but improvisational drama in real time.

What sorts of things could you do, and how would you deal with an audience you did or didn't tell in advance?

One that crossed my mind is a sort of murder mystery type thing - get a bunch of the characters to relay 'parts' of the story as it's developing, with maybe a detective thread in the middle of it?

Ideally something geared up towards some manner of audience participation.

PS I'd say Twitter was better suited, just because its so easy to use from any mobile phone, even a fairly basic one. I find FB is hard work on my phone.
