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.

Even then though - you end up having to describe what you're doing some of the time, or end up remarkably awkward about not doing so.

*shrug*. Maybe that's just me.
