“The Tempest contains all the main themes of Shakespeare’s plays: the overthrow of the rightful ruler, the danger of moving from civilisation to barbarism, dreaming about regaining greatness, destructive passion and the sense and the need for creating theatre.

In Anna Augustynowicz’s Burza, we can also see a bitter tragi-comedy about contemporary civilisation. Through the orange life-jackets worn by the shipwrecked people brought by Prospero to the island where he lives, she makes reference to the tragedy of refugees – the greatest tragedy of our times.” --from daily “Kurier Szczeciński”
