Question:Like in the play?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Like in the play?

The action of the play covers four days. Seriously. Read the play with the sole intent of marking the changes from one day to the next. It's four days.

No play is supposed to happen in some absolute time frame. Scenes in a play, especially, may be drawn out or contracted according to the director's ideas about the play. Your question is sort of like asking how long a musical passage should be played where the notation is ambivalent; nobody can tell you.
