Jerzy Limon had a theatre erected in that very spot in 2014: Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre, home to many events, especially Shakespeare Festival, which Jerzy Limon launched in the Tricity 1997. Jerzy Limon wrote extensively on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, court masque, contributed significantly to the theory of theatre, especially with his concept of time.
