I’m surprised that you found it unwatchable. I found poet to be seamlessly edited and very watchable. After Irish rep and some others, I’ve actually gotten to the point of almost no tolerance for standard zoom reading. I see what can be done with backdrops and editing. The bartender in poet poured a drink and the actor picked it up and drank. It looked like they were in the same room. I believe costumes were mailed to the actors so they were not makeshift from the closet. I highly recommended the production last fall when I saw it.
