*Shrug*  Medieval mystery plays used to last at least 2 days, sometimes 
a week, IIRC.  O'Neill's trilogy Mourning Becomes Electra takes about 9 
hours, with intermissions for lunch and dinner thrown in (at least for 
the opening run, and I assume anyone putting it on today would do the 
same).  However, I think I would be satisfied just reading a Paarfi 
version (-:
