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 $Ta$.
$$ T_d = k \cdot \frac{L}{\tau} $$
