While online theater allows performers to join a production from anywhere in the world, there are downsides to such an arrangement.

"Background noises can be especially distracting," says Eugene Hsiang, an actor who participated in The Intervention, his first virtual play. "Be it the rain, overhead planes or dogs barking, our surroundings constantly remind us to stay focused."

Sarah Wun, who has acted in five online plays, is still adjusting to the technical demands of the new medium. Given that a camera captures only that which it can fit into a frame, "our body language is restricted compared to being on stage," says Wun. "Also, close-ups of our faces mean we have to manage our micro expressions constantly, maybe more than when performing in a theater."

A section of viewers seems to be enjoying watching a play from home where they feel more comfortable getting emotional. "The more intimate the story is, the more suitable it is for Zoom," says Amy Percival, an actress who took part in Water Child and The Intervention.

"The viewers may feel like they are watching us through a peephole," adds Wun. "This sense of exclusivity is unique to Zoom plays."

Zoom works particularly well for performances of an interactive nature. Tai Kwun's See You Zoom series last year explored the ways Zoom can help connect performers with viewers.

"We liked the 'room' and 'chatbox' functions on Zoom," says Eddy Zee, head of performing arts at Tai Kwun. "By generating a private and safe space for each group of participants, there was a stronger sense of genuineness and a personal connection between everyone."
