    I am working on a project with three other people that I thought I would point out here in case anyone was interested or wanted to join in.

    So, years ago I saw a mock up of what Hamlet would look like if it was told through Facebook. It as a single page thing. It got me to thinking that Facebook would be an interesting way to tell the story - <commentary on the fourth wall goes here>.

    So now four of us are taking the script and working out how to Facebookerise the material. Some stuff will be direct status updates. Some photos, some app use or foursquare checkins, and I am sure other integrations we hadn't though of (suggestions welcome!).

    We will be creating the appropriate social media accounts, with the risk that FB will nuke the project from orbit. We are prepared to suffer for our art!

    More interested persons are welcome to take part. Need folks more from ANZ and UK/Europe time zones than anything else as otherwise things are likely to get hard to coordinate.

    Even if you don't want to "act" we would love folks willing to volunteer their photo taking skills and selves (hipstagram Hamlet?) so we can populate profile pictures, etc etc. Let me know.
