Nooky, Man in the Matchbox

This could well be a good play and a good performance. But there is absolutely no way that I can judge. Peter Molnar, "Hungarian film star" performs Nookyentirely in Hungarian with a Powerpoint slide show providing English text translated by someone with only the most rudimentary knowledge of English. So the audience cannot watch the performance because we are trying to read and decypher the English translation projected on a screen on the other side of the playing space. To compound this problem, the character is the ramblings of someone mentally retarded. Sadly, all nuances are lost. And Mr. Molnar is confined to performing in one static spot. And the performance is in a church which means pews with poor sightlines. If you speak Hungarian fluently and sit in the front pew, this might be a performance worth seeing. I abandoned the text to watch the performance and therefore I give it one star as I think that the actor is probably quite talented.
