    Theoretical Models of Theatrical Time
    The dramatic structure imposes a specific temporality distinct from clock time. The principle of Dramatic Acceleration ($Td$) is often used to model the audience's perceived compression of narrative time relative to the actual duration of the performance $Ta$.
