RFMPlay Twitter-inspired radio drama

Location: Twitter

Participants: Around 175 writers and creative types

Plot:

A Machiavellian mastermind oversees the entire experiment and is in charge of the sinister-sounding “Observation Period”.

Perhaps the participants will be like photons in the double slit experiment, their behaviour altered by the mere fact of being observed.

Or they may simply continue to bounce ideas off each other regardless, until they burn out of puns, innuendo, philosophical musings and witty backchat.

Are they guinea pigs or lab rats? Or a genetically-modified hybrid of the two?

Five writers will be chosen for the next phase of the project – to Tweet in character, with the aim of crafting a radio play from the resulting dialogue.
