But, in fairness, the performed plays are also normally edited. Pretty much nobody (except Kenneth Brannagh, of course) would dream of doing "Hamlet" unedited - it's just too long.
Four hours is a bit of an exaggeration for "Romeo and Juliet". I have the UNedited BBC version of it which is 2h 47m. The Dicaprio film is 1h 55m, so yes, it is heavily edited.
