140 Characters

          Time and pace play a major role when discussing twitter based plays. Twitter plays are limitec tomonly 140 characters pernpost this includes spaces and puncuation so that does not leave much room to discuss a topic. When your writing a single tweet play you must be quick and to the point .if you take to much time to get your point across you risk either losing intrest or running out of  characters. You must also make sure your post still makes some kind of since. However if you are writing a multi-tweet play you have a little more leway. You have a little more time to bulid a story because you are using multi post so you technically have more than 140 characters to use. Pace however will still need to be quick to grab a readers attention.  We live in a fast pace society where everyone expects things to be instantaneous.  With this being said if you don't make your point quick and provide quick defails the reader will get tired or lose intrest in reading each of the post.
          Now for this second question there are many things that could be done to bring us to the here and now. One idea would be to have a play based off events that may have occured that day. You could have the audience write a brief summary on their day. You could also create a facebook page for people to post current events or even simple fml statuses. Each day the cast would go through these post and create a story. This would also create a different show each time so the audience will never truly know what they will see.
