Wonder how long the play runs right now? It ran 2 hours 50 minutes at The Royal Court (seems very long, even with two intermissions) I think a three hour night at the theater might be a turnoff.
It is a 7:30 curtain, which means curtain should go up about 7:38.
I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Aha phew glad it is not longer considering potential travel restrictions. I would consider up to 3h normal ‘ggg’ The Shakespeares are always a bit longer, in fact the only one under i have seen in recent years running at under that was No man’s land which is 2h without an interval which in a way is more difficult.

I don’t know about travel restrictions. Subways are open all night in NYC. Three hours is a little on the long side. Then if folks want stage door – but at least not as long as The Crucible. I could do two hours w/o intermission.

er, more like flights, ie from theatre straight to plane 🙂 If all plans work out i will share the crazy details, but it will be with not much time wriggle room.
I don’t mind 2h either provided the seat is ok, you wouldn’t believe what most of London’s old theatres do to the knees and back of the frequent theatre goer. Ouch.

I thought Servetus said something a while back after reading the play that it should be under two hours?? I’m imagining things?

Dear lord! 2:50 at the Royal Court? I would have guessed around 2:35 with the two intermissions. 2:30 if the second intermission is intended to be shorter than the first. I guess we’ll see!

I know, I was really anticipating we might run over to Top of the Rock after it was over the Fri pm we’re going – but probably not

Right, so it’s a good thing I’ve waited around to buy them…. I want to wait around for stage door though, & I question if my loving companion (who helped make all this possible 🙂 will have patience remaining that close to 11:00 ❤ Maybe we'll wait till Sat pm for that (I heard the night lights are the best!)

I think you can make it after theater. I’ve never been.

I’m always amazed that locals usually don’t go to these tourist spots (though I’m the same way, where I live!!) Top of the Rock seems to get good feedback, but I’m rather cheap 😀 I’ll keep my ear to the ground, now that this is actually starting 🙂 -Thanks again!

Look around for a cocktail lounge with a view and have a drink. They’re open late and no charge, except the drink.

Take a look at The Peninsula Hotel or whatever is there now. It’s not that far away.
