All Broadway shows are unique in their own way, but some are more unique than others. One very unique performance is Sleep No More, which has established its reputation as must-see interactive theatre in New York, ever since it premiered in March 2011. Brought by the theatrical team of Punchdrunk, Sleep No More takes place at the McKittrick Hotel where the audiences experience a darker film noir version of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Macbeth.

The play is constructed in a way that the audiences move freely through the stage (in this case, the whole warehouse that’s transformed into a fancy 1930s hotel), open up the drawers, and participate in the play with your observational instinct. You wander through hotel rooms, lunatic asylums, and even a ballroom to discover a naked couple inside of a bathtub.

Audience members wear a white, carnival mask, which adds to the visual and also discourages conversation during the performance. Patrons are welcome to follow a character and separate from their friends. Sleep No More is intended to awake a voyeuristic side of the audiences to peek at the creepy yet marvelous performance presented by this British creative team.

Just remember to arm up with comfy shoes since there is going to be a lot fo random walking. Sleep No More is beyond just a theatrical show, but it is a dreamlike experience that will leave you be dazed for days.

Sleep No More is currently on view at the McKittrick Hotel, 530 W 27th St New York, NY 10001.
