![]() ![]() If you see a man in a room shaving another (it s duncan son shaving the king). If you see a "rave party" with a naked guy dancing (boy witch), this is the prophecy of the witches saying that Macbeth will be king and there will be a "baby" in this prophecy. After this reunion in the table, they will split and will go to different floors, so prepare yourself to follow one of the actors and sometimes to "run" (you can choose macbeth or lady macbeth to understand more of the story). One of the witches (bald woman) will be in the left side of the king and his son on his right side. The actor with blood in his face will be Macbeth (and lady macbeth will be in the oposite site of the table). The actor in the middle of the table will be Duncan (the king). If this is your first time, try to follow an actor! There will be a part where they will be all together in a table, like the last soup (this repeats 2 times). Use nice shoes and be prepare to run following the actors (you may pay at entrance 5$ to drop-off the coat, but that's not obligatory, you can have your coat with you all the time!). They will give you a card at entrance with a number and they will call you to the elevator during your stay in the jazz bar! Don't waste time drinking drinks in the bar! You can drink it (with time) after the show! Go to the lift, put the mask and you will be dropped in a floor (there are 5 floors). First of all, "Sleep no More" mixs "Macbeth" from Shakespeare with a little bit of "Rebecca" from Hitchcock! You should know the Macbeth story before you go (it's not fundamental for you to watch Rebecca to understand the play!)

Punchdrunk may not deal much with the depths of Macbeth in Sleep No More, but they’ve turned it into an even more visceral, exciting theatrical event than any other production of the Scottish Tragedy you are likely to see. It’s more than challenging to name anyone in particular, but the witches are particularly exciting to watch if you can figure out who they are, they’re especially worth the pursuit. The cast is highly engaging, and nimbly darts in and out of rooms, up and down stairs, all the while maintaining a mysterious air about them so that you simply can’t resist trying to follow. And yet, it’s hard not to get swept into the chase. Even if you are quick enough to pursue a character that intrigues you, it’s pretty difficult to discern exactly who you’re following - that doesn’t really become clear until the very end, if you make it that long (you can stay inside the hotel for up to three hours). So Shakespeare is not really in focus here - in fact, you get only whiffs of plot. ![]() The slo-mo dinner party in the gigantic banquet room was simply too cool.Įach of these major scenes is acted in silence, or should I say performed dance-style or even lip-synched (I accidentally came upon a man perfectly voicing Peggy Lee’s “Is That All There Is?” in a nightclub. The hunt goes on all night, interrupted by witches climbing up walls, the nuevo-royalty taking a quick bath to wash blood off their hands, and (if you’re in the right room) an occasional murder. The painstakingly detailed set - which is the entire hotel - will have you digging through suitcases, desk drawers, and bookshelves in a desperate, darkly gleeful search of any dirt you can find on your favorite social climbers, the Macbeths. ![]() Audience members don Venetian masks and explore the depths of the 1930s-style McKittrick Hotel in pursuit of the dubious characters of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, who run amuck throughout. In a rare clash of film noir, performance art, an awesome murder mystery party, and Shakespeare, Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More is the ultimate voyeuristic thrill. ![]()
