Has anyone done this show? What is the approximate running time? Wondering if it is long enough as a stand alone show or if it would need to be paired with a companion piece...perhaps Juliet's Garden. Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the show, but a remarkably accurate rule of thumb for determining the length of a play is:
Figure two minutes of playing time per page of script. 30 pages equals 60 minutes 45 pages equals 90 minutes 57 pages equals 114 minutes, etc., etc., etc. I don't know why this works, but it's never more than 5 or ten minutes off. (FYI: A script for a movie comes in at 1 minute per page. Go figure.) Edited by edh915 - 11/03/12 at 4:41pm |
