The
actually
space
and
investment
in
the
scenography
and
set
design
are
incredible.
It
is
no
doubt
a
very
professional
artistic
undertaking.
I
will
say
the
seating
is
a
bit
odd,
it’s
stadium
seating,
without
individual
seats,
just
one
long
hard
wooden
row
with
no
seat
back,
which
becomes
quite
uncomfortable
after
a
certain
length
of
time.
Nice
attempt
at
a
throwback
to
the
Globe
with
its
standing
pit
but
oy,
Why
go
through
all
that
when
you
can
sit?
Plus
when
you
sit
above
the
ground
floor,
the
first
row
with
the
railing
is
great
until
you
realize
that
the
metal
railing
is
at
a
height
that
you
either
have
to
croon
your
neck
under
or
over.
Oy.
Plus
the
real-time
translation
is
only
on
a
screen
directly
above
the
back
of
the
stage,
meaning
if
you’re
sitting
in
a
side
wing
like
we
were,
it’s
impossible
to
both
read
the
text
and
watch
the
performance.
And
sometimes
the
acoustics
and
enunciation
were
such,
that
the
words
would
have
come
in
handy.
As
the
actual
performance
itself,
The
Tempest
(in
Polish),
it
was
like
every
other
modernist
piece
of
Theater
on
the
Polish
stage.
Full
of
lots
of
spectacle
and
frenetic
energy
and
absurdist
staging
and.
Grotesque
elements
that
completely
engulf
the
audience’s
attention
and
detract
from
the
actual
beauty
which
is
the
beauty
of
the
great
bard
Shakespeare.
I
doubt
I’ll
come
back
anytime
in
the
next
year
or
so,
and
if
I
do,
it
would
be
only
for
a
classical
stage
-
stick
to
the
basics,
please,
you
have
what
otherwise
is
a
great
venue
and
platform
for
it.
