Had front room plastered today, and left the windows open for a good 5 hours after it was finished to let the fumes escape. Been sitting watching a film for the past 2 and a half hours, I closed the windows before I sat down and drew the curtains but noticed by the end of the film all the windows in that room have heavy condensation on them (can barely see out of them), so I've opened the windows again. Is it because there's still fumes from the plaster? Is it safe to be sitting in the room without any ventilation?

i am not a builder but I dont think plaster is actually dangerous in a fume sence. Yes when it is dry you can breath in the very fine particiles and that might cause some problems. I believe the problem you have is that your plaster is still wet and continuing to dry, this dampness will excape into the air and condense on to the now cooler windows causing the water to condence. Leave the window open to allow the room to dry out a little more over night.
It's not fumes, you don't get fumes from plaster. It's a wet trade involving lots of water and what you have is just that, water.
If the Windows are modern them you can usually lock them open a crack. It's not harmful to you though if you shut them.
