Negative reviews were left by the audience regarding the productions of "Freaks", "Love to the grave" and "There will be a new day." Particularly unflattering reviews went to the last of this list. It talks a lot about unpleasant and even dirtyaspects of people's lives. But it would be quite acceptable if done nobly and subtly. But in this performance, the theater sank to the floor and low instincts. Such methods of revealing the plot and images only cause rejection and protest. Such a speech, according to many viewers, should not be heard in the temple of art.
