点评:Went to see Robin Ince's "Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth" poetry show last night and had a brilliant time. The performance was funny, moving and thought-provoking, exactly what I hoped for.
The Poly itself is a gem. Comfortable seating (important for a 2-hour show!), beautiful venue with real character, and the acoustics were spot on. Staff and volunteers were all lovely, friendly and helpful, clearly passionate about what they do.
I arrived early and enjoyed browsing the shop and exhibition whilst waiting. Worth getting there with time to spare as there's plenty to see and it adds to the whole experience. Cafe & Bar is well worth a stop too, although I didn't this time.
Looking through their programme I've already spotted several other shows and workshops I want to book. Thinking about trying one of the pottery courses too, seems like a great way to learn something new in such a welcoming space.
Highly recommend The Poly whether you're after live performance, workshops, or just a lovely creative space to visit. I'll definitely be back.
翻译:昨晚去看了罗宾·因斯(Robin Ince)的诗歌朗诵会“Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth”,真是太棒了!演出既幽默风趣,又感人至深,引人深思,完全符合我的预期。
The Poly本身就是个宝藏。舒适的座椅(对于一场长达两小时的演出来说至关重要!),场地优美,极具特色,音响效果也无可挑剔。工作人员和志愿者都非常友善热情,乐于助人,显然对自己的工作充满热情。
我提前到达,在等待演出开始的时候逛了逛商店和展览。建议预留充足的时间前往,因为那里有很多值得一看的东西,而且时间充裕也会让整个体验更加完美。咖啡馆和酒吧也值得一去,虽然这次我没有进去。
浏览他们的节目单时,我已经发现了好几个想预订的演出和工作坊。我还想尝试一下陶艺课程,感觉在这样一个温馨舒适的空间里学习新技能是个不错的选择。
强烈推荐The Poly,无论你是想观看现场演出、参加工作坊,还是仅仅想找个充满创意的美好空间放松身心。我一定会再来的。
