The Royal Shakespeare Company began its latest production Such Tweet Sorrow , a 21st century remake of the classical play Romeo and Juliet . It will happen entirely on Twitter, since almost everybody uses Twitter, the company thought of setting up a trend to continue entertaining the people with such publicity. As the artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company told the BBC, “Mobile phones don’t need to be the antichrist for theater.” Characters like @julietcap16 and @LaurenceFriar have been posting their musings on daily life. Under the eyes of a director and some team of writers Juliet Capulet writes statuses like: “@Tybalt_Cap HEY! Shut it! It’s not our fault your [sic] in so much trouble! You have noone to blame but yourself!.” And @LaurenceFriar goes on about his murky past: “Perhaps I shouldn’t have told them about my role in the legalize cannabis campaign? hmm. There’s something meditative about skinning up.” It sounds weird but most of the Twitter users are enjoying these fictional activities. Some private citizens such as Helen Klein Ross, a New York-based advertiser who has written the Betty Draper Twitter feed since 2008, said that it’s the love for marketing that inspired her to create such page. Some popular shows like Glee, 24 and even some of the Stepehn King novels are venturing on the Twittervers. All in all, the blurbs from fictional characters on Twitter are hit or miss.
