Twitter Soap Launches
THE PASSIONATE & THE PRIVILEGED is a soap that plays out on Twitter. The innovative idea is the brainchild of writer/creator Hope Royaltey. Here’s how it works: Every Tuesday and Thursday (beginning today March 8) at 3 p.m. ET there’s a new hour-long episode. Think of it as a radio show you read instead of listen to. “It’s just like a regular script and it’s going to work on twitter for the live show. There is a nar rator who will describe the actions,” explains Royaltey. Viewers do not have to have a Twitter account, they can head to the show’s Web site https://www.pandptheshow.com to launch the live stream.
Past episodes will also be archived on the website, which also have detailed cast descriptions and offers a way to follow actual characters. During the rest of the week, the various characters — primarily members of the Logan and Randolph families — will tweet each other and viewers can tweet/talk to the character directly. Imagine being able to chat with Dorian Lord? That’s what will happen during the rest of the week. “It’s completely up to the actors what they want to do. I’ve given them a bible,” adds Royaltey.
As for the actors, “I’ve pulled in a lot of my theater actors friends, daytime people, tv/film people, I’m going to be leaking names of the cast members but I am not saying who they’re playing to keep it mysterious,” smiles the creator.
