While experiential theatre is more common now, there are still things to know before you go. When it opened in 2011, Sleep No More launched the immersive theatre trend. Sleep No More, an immersive, site-specific telling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, creates an atmosphere that speaks to the tale of the Scottish king and his scheming, power-hungry wife rather than a linear plot. It makes sense the production from Punchdrunk theatre company nestles between the Chelsea art galleries-as the experience feels more like performance art than traditional theatre storytelling. The McKittrick Hotel said its reopening plans will be done in compliance with the state and local government’s COVID-19 protocols and are subject to the approval of the NY State Department of Health and Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office.Off the beaten path of theatre hubs in Manhattan-away from Times Square’s packed theatre district, far from the downtown cabaret scene-the McKittrick Hotel continues to host the award-winning theatrical experience Sleep No More. “Sleep No More is produced by Emursive (Jonathan Hochwald, Arthur Karpati, and Randy Weiner, principals) in association with Rebecca Gold Productions. “Sleep No More’s” creative team features Felix Barrett (direction and design), Maxine Doyle (direction and choreography), Stephen Dobbie (sound design), Beatrice Minns (design associate), and Livi Vaughan (design associate). During their stay, guests may also enjoy live music and cocktails - the latter keeping them well-fortified throughout the 360-degree sensory experience. ![]() The production combines acrobatic choreography and a film noir soundtrack. Presented by Emursive, Punchdrunk’s “Sleep No More” allows audiences to move freely through the story of the scheming and power-hungry Thane of Cawdor and his wife at their own pace, choosing where to go and what to see throughout 100 rooms of densely-detailed atmosphere sprawling over 100,000 square feet of space. The hotel’s rooftop garden bar and restaurant, Gallow Green, is currently open for dinner and drinks, and its production of “Speakeasy Magick” returned this summer. It will also reopen its velvet-draped speakeasy, Manderley Bar. ![]() The McKittrick Hotel, the dimly-lit, 1930s venue that the New York Times critic Ben Brantley once quipped looks like “what might have happened had Stanley Kubrick (of ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and ‘The Shining’) been asked to design the Haunted Mansion at Disney World,” won’t just welcome guests back to see Lord and Lady Macbeth pull off some regicide. Shows will take place Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for “Sleep No More” are now on sale for performances starting October 4. ![]() It’s the latest in a long list of cultural events, extending from Shakespeare in the Park to Broadway shows such as “Hamilton,” to set a date for its return. “ Sleep No More,” the groundbreaking and immersive reimagining of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” will resume performances this fall, becoming the latest show to announce its return after COVID-19 caused theaters and live events to go on a months-long hiatus. ![]()
