long play

The actors at times seem to be speed-reading their lines, rushing through the notoriously long play to get to the good bits.

On paper, a very long play about a very financial topic sounds tedious at best, excruciatingly boring at worst, but critics around the world have raved about this three-actor, three-hour-plus, two-intermission epic that took home the 2022 Tony Award for best play.

Scorsese was there along with other older actors and filmmakers whose work may long play on the other side of Coppola’s moon.

Before Long Play, Bang on a Can had spent three decades presenting one-day marathon concerts.

Long Play has been around only since last year, but it is already the most important classical music festival in New York City.
