The order is roughly based on that by Wells & Taylor (Oxford Shakespeare) but adapted for dramatic convenience (e.g. it makes more dramatic sense to perform 1H6 before 2H6, not after 3H6).

Sonnet sequences make useful fillers between plays, either to allow the next cast to get ready or to slow the sequence down if it's running ahead of time.

Duration of plays are based on the performances in the 2000 Marathon - except for Lucrece, Titus, and Shrew [video tape 3 missing] which are best guesses.
