It is not uncommon, over time, to hear the opinion that there is a chronic delay in Portuguese theater, when compared with other artistic mediums. WORST OF takes a look at the history of the national theater through the lense of this opinion. In order to that, a “best of” of Portuguese actors will give voice to complaints, with the help of examples that confirm the discouragement. WORST OF is a shitty celebration.
