 The basis of IRC has all the foundations for any performance- users can choose the name by which they want to be known, and there are many hundreds of thousands of users who choose not to chat but to simply watch and read what goes on.Therefore, using character names such as "Ophelia" and "Hamlet", as well as using HTML actions, gives the potential to introduce a very considerable alternative to traditional live performance platforms.Harris' intention for development of The Hamnet Players' work was to ultimately create web-based formats of every stage of theatrical production, in addition to performance; including casting calls, auditions and callbacks; the entire rehearsal process; marketing and production critique.
