Burza w wiadrze wody
Tempest in a Bucket of Water

Summary/Abstract: William Shakespeare's Tempest staged at the Polski Theater in Warsaw by Dan Jemmet (premiere: 24 XI 2012) is based, according to the reviewer, on a single interpretive idea. This involves showing the inhabitants of the island as contemporary human castaways – mechanical puppets in the second-rate theater created by Prospero. Placing Shakespeare's drama in the realistic, even naturalistic convention of a dysfunctional family of beggars with a father who is a myth-monger and second-rate magician performing cheap tricks, leads, in Targoń's opinion, nowhere.
