There's more than just Shakespeare on Twitter. How about Mark Twain? Edgar Allan Poe? You can follow Superman or Batman. Or just about every Star Wars character there is. A good list of all the fictional Twitter accounts here: http://tinyurl.com/bkbq5b

"Twitter is good for a lot of things, but is it good for drama, where (usually) you have actors sharing the same stage…and, you know, acting?"
you could say the same thing about a book. but most plays seem to translate okay to that medium.

Wow... I think we need some post-modern plays performed on twitter. This might even spark a whole new genre of 'micro-plays'.

As a serious Shakespeare enthusiast who makes regular use of twitter (@moremattrlessrt) to promote a site devoted to the guy and engage in as much discussion as I can, I'm still not sure I buy into playing the whole thing out over such a limited medium. The beauty of his work is in its richness and its language, and that's really the one thing you can't compromise. We'll see how it turns out, I suppose.

Do I think it will be a riveting performance? No, but two thumbs up for creativity derived from way too much free time. I'm going to have to check it out, when does this masterpiece begin?

When I see something like this, I just think about how I can program a script to do this for me.

I love this! Would love to do ""A Twitter's Midsummer Night's Dream". To be Puck or Tatiana would be nice. Thanks for the post.

actually, i think it's kinda brilliant and well-done, but very hard to follow.

This is a riff off a blogger I read, who did 18 tweets shakespeare would do, and freud would do.
I like things like this just for fun are really cool, but they probably won't catch on except as a parlor trick, which is fine. @ascstaunton the American Shakespeare Center is using Twitter more and more, though.
This is just proof that no matter where media and culture goes, Shakespeare continues to stalk it.
