Everything helps to understand the story. The details in each scenario are simply incredible – and nothing is there by mistake. On the other hand, there is a strong music track that matches every scene. There is no dialogue – another fact that I did not know and which I found interesting since it democratizes the experience for those who do not speak English. Obviously, I had no idea of these numbers before my experience – and I only knew about it when searching to write this post. The whole play takes place on five floors of the building and, for you to have an idea, there are about 100 scenarios and environments, and a cast with more than 20 people. I was one of the last people to leave the elevator. On each floor, some people were allowed to leave. We entered a group of more than 20 people in a long dark elevator. Another reminder was that there is no right or wrong way to keep up with the experience. Besides, silence would be primordial and mandatory from that moment on. Then, we were told not to take them out and not to take any photos. When my number was called, I entered with another group through a door and received my mask. Thiago had the card number 8 and I had the card number 9 and, as you can see, we ended up following the advice from our friends and we were separated (we had no choice since we received different playing cards).
And that is where your playing card makes sense since groups are formed according to the number of your cards. Women and men are well dressed and they interact with you – but as characters themselves, not as actors. Well, we arrived in a bar – you can order something to drink – and there you will find some of the hotel guests. But they do not say anything, just point it out if you ask any questions. There are some staff members around and they wear black masks. We walked through some dark corridors and I was a little scared – but, first of all, I want to make it clear that it is that good fear, the unknown, not knowing what to expect. Uma publicação compartilhada por Sleep No More em 1 de Ago, 2019 às 1:39 PDT No spoilers, but if you want to continue not knowing what to expect, I suggest jumping to the last paragraph.ĭoes remedy linger in the night? #sleepnomorenyc #mckittrickhotel After we identified, we received a deck of cards each and heard “Good luck!”.Īfter that, I’ll tell you a bit about how everything works and my impressions. When you make the purchase, your name goes to the hotel list. There are no physical or digital tickets for Sleep No More. Upon entering, I had to leave my bag in the luggage check – it is not optional, you can not get in with bags and backpacks – and the fee is $4. No one under the age of 18 is permitted unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian (children under 13 are not admitted). It took about 10 minutes before we got in, and while we waited, a security man checked everyone’s ID. We arrived at The McKittrick Hotel, in Chelsea, at 7 pm sharp, and we saw a long line. You can not follow everything, that is, each experience will be unique. Each actor tells their own story, with other actors telling stories interconnected simultaneously in other rooms and other floors.

You are free to walk independently and follow the cast members as you wish. In 2011, Emursive and Punchdrunk, two theater companies, came together to produce Sleep No More, which was probably the most original theatrical experience in New York history. Well, if you are reading this post and you do not even know what Sleep No More is about, let’s get a brief explanation. And my friends told me: do not try to stay with your husband, stay apart. I also knew that the public needed to wear masks during the performance and that it was necessary to wear comfortable clothes and shoes as well. Another fact that I knew is that it was an immersive experience and, by immersion, what I knew was that you have to follow the cast members. I also knew that everything is set at The McKittrick Hotel, a building featuring a lot of warehouses. I knew it was a play inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth. I think that the great thing about Sleep No More is that you don’t know exactly what to expect. And here I am to talk about this experience that is really great. Finally, a few weeks ago, I took some time, researched dates, and bought the tickets for Thiago and me. It’s kind of a thing that happens to a lot of people who live here – I have plenty of time to go (but I never go).
I’ve read the reviews, listened to opinions, but I never had bought tickets to. Since I moved to New York, I’ve been hearing about Sleep No More.
