I think it'd be quite an interesting parlour game to try - like putting on a performance of Hamlet, leaving out The Mousetrap altogether and letting the audience form their own views of what the play must have been in order to wind up the Royal party so.
these days, I always skip the slow-building train-wreck at the start of Memory because I know it's there, so I don't have to harrow my feelings by going through it again. But if you haven't gone down into the depths with Miles at least once, it's very difficult to appreciate the scale of his achievement in pulling himself out of them (with a bit of help from his friends).
