Act one on the Internet

From the archive, first published Monday 19th Jun 2000.

A SOUTHAMPTON man has become one of the first people in the country to take part in an Internet play.

Dominic O'Farrell was one of the overseers behind Scheherazade's Daughters - a story based on the tales of the Arabian Nights.

Dominic, 22, who lives at Janson Road, Shirley, played several of the smaller roles and oversaw others logging onto the site who may want to act on the Internet.

With an Internet play, people on the site can take on the role of a character and be part of the play.

"This is done through reading the script which has special points for emotions.

Dominic, a former creative arts student at Manchester Metropolitan University, said: "I was part of a group of three British people doing the first Internet play in this country. The play dealt with his daughters who had been locked away."
