Stoppard's revisions don't seriously reduce the length of the play. 
There's a long speech at the end of act one where Pattison is floating off
to the underworld that goes, but everything else falls more happily under
the title of tinkering or rearranging. If anyone cut the length of the
play, I suspect it was the LCT director. Stoppard is hard at work on new
plays set in C19th Russia.

Best,
