Manny’s experience with deafness.
About 97% of the enrichment from reading Shakespeare comes from enjoying the language, so sitting through the Tempest was somewhat like watching a talk show on mute. The costumes and set design however, were exceptional. The sails, the use of party city blood, etc. all made the experience that much more palatable for my non czech speaking self. I especially liked the way they improvised with a single set to render multiple locations, i.e. the windows forming a backdrop, the sails for the ship, etc.
I like the analogy of the talk show. I wish you would expand on these thoughts though. . .
