Re this:

Thank you for the nice piece about Somerset House on the site. Just to
ease your mind about sound quality, the sound at SH is perfect -
super-loud, comes at you from all corners of the courtyard and so
clear that if we played Public Enemies there you’d actually be able to
understand the dialogue.

I will be confirming/refuting this on the 31st.

P.S. I can’t believe we forgot to mention this in our Public Enemies ‘review’. Half the time it’s like watching Das Boot with the subtitles off.

P.P.S. For more terrible sound design, see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
