i suppose plays should be just a bit longer because theres less camera angles and stuff to take up the page, especially if you're doing minimalist or something surreal

woah man. its 20 - 30 MINUTES, not pages. they don't do page limits because that is affected by stage and camera directions etc. and it's 20-30 minutes intended performance times. so they're not really gonna take marks off unless its way outside that.
