It depends on the performance. There were two main editions of the play, and there are lines in one which are not in the other. Some editors have added them all together, making a play of fearsome length. Kenneth Branagh's film version uses such a "conflated" text with no cuts and it runs four hours and two minutes. A production using just one of the source texts without any or many cuts runs between three and three-and-a-half hours. Tennant's is three hours. That is a long show for modern audiences, and many directors cut scenes, dialogue and characters to reduce the play to two hours or less. Tom Stoppard took this further and produced a script which could be played in fifteen minutes.
