I’m sorry I missed the real-time presentation you gave, but I’m definitely going to watch the recorded version. So exciting! So scary! =)

There’s a few episodes of B5 that spring to mind as good candidates for this – Franklin’s confrontation with his shadow; Londo’s long nightmare; Sheridan’s interrogation – and of course, pretty much anything involving G’Kar and Londo stuck in the same room. However, with the exception of the interrogation, none of these are whole episodes, and I’m not sure how well it would work with the rest of B5

It occurs to me that more than any other genre, the sitcom would be adaptable to this, with its general reliance on a limited number of sets and characters. (Though obviously, not all sitcoms – Batman or My Name is Earl not so much; The Addams Family or Coupling a lot more.)

I think that the key to success for this style of theatrical conversion is shows that were made with few sets. Especially shows that focussed on character based plots over outwardly facing plots.

Admittedly, it’s been many years since I watched Kung Fu but I think it would be a good candidate! I think the flashback sequences could be accommodated very well into the performance.

Modern shows tend to make more heavy use of special effects and multiple locations but even so, there are still some “one room” episodes that make great use of this locked box scenario.

I love this idea. Small, theater performances bring out the heart of a community. My favorite TV shows I’d like to see performed? Kung Fu, Mary Tyler Moore and Arrested Development.
