Viral Theatre
Okay, I think this would be a good example of more of your "regular play", i.e. characters, plot, etc. in a viral setting. Most plays, having scenes and acts etc. are pretty episodic. So, first, we film each individual scene. Then we scatter clues across the internet over where to find the plays. Maybe we make an account for one of the characters on craigslist, that becomes publicly known. Say something happens like the main character buys a coffee table and his wife hates it, and there is a scene that comes out of this conversation. Maybe the main character puts up the coffee table on craigslist and there's a link to the video.
Another fun thing we could do in the say way is to give the characters blogs. Links to scenes, or clues to where the scenes are could be on their blogs, as well as their accounts for the day. That way it becomes so much more than just watching something like a tv show, but you have an environment where you can interact more with the characters, and get alot more about the story than just watching people go at it in front of a camera. This way, you can delve deeper into subtext and get another outlet into characters inner driving thoughts. At the same time, since a blog post is subjective, you can play with the credibility of the writer, adding a dynamic where you can still make up your own mind about a character and their motives. Maybe Mary Kate is saying one thing about a scene in her blog, while John is saying something else in his.
