I also found that line hilarious. Like yeah plays may run longer, maybe into the 4 hour range, but they have intermissions with well-known signals when it's time for people to return to their seats.
And, of course, old movies had intermissions, too. Has he never heard the "Let's all go to the lobby!" jingle?
Hell, I’ve seen two plays that were so long they were broken into two parts. One of them I saw parts 1 & 2 on separate days. The other was a matinee followed by an evening performance.
So a roughly 4 to 5 hour play had 3 breaks. Each part had an intermission, and then there’s the longer break between the two parts.
Honestly that sounds like a great time. Make a day of it, grab a bite to eat and talk about what you think will happen next. Sounds lovely.
