The title of the play comes from this passage from Macbeth:Īs I said before, this a very freeing and very active kind of theater. Different actors perform on different floors and interact with other actors at different times, and the audience may watch any scene or actor they wish. ![]() The audience is admitted on the ground floor and are permitted to go freely through the 6 floor set and watch the actors perform. The play was conceived by an English company called Punchdrunk Theater Company, who took over an old 6 story warehouse on West 27th Street in New York City, and turned it into a fictional hotel/bar called the “McKittrick Hotel.” The play, (which is done entirely without dialogue), is a re-imagination of both Macbeth, and the novel Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, set in the 1930s. Rather than sitting and watching, you actively follow the action and you can get so close to the actors you can, (and sometimes will), touch them. It’s what theater teachers like my wife call “Experiential Theater.” The way she explains it, it’s theater that exists as an event. Sleep No More is not the traditional kind of theater- there is no proscenium, no stage, no seats, and only one platform. Going from the general to the specific, I’m going to talk a bit about what the show is, then describe the experience a bit, and then offer some tips for people who have never gone before. I will provide a basic outline of the production, and give you an insight into what I experienced, but I would urge you to see the show yourself without any preconceptions, so if you want to keep the mystery going that surrounds this production, I suggest you stop reading…Īlright, if you’ve chosen to keep reading, that means you want to know more, so more I shall give you. WARNING: this is a production where, the less you know about it, the better your experience will be. It was scary, interactive, exciting, clever, sexy, and even a little disturbing, but without a doubt it was incredible, original, and true Shakespearean theater.īefore you read the review though, a word of caution. However, as part of a show for dramatic effect, Rassmussen, who at this point had become a Sandman himself, sent a video of the adventure containing a message encoded with the same signal in Morpheus pods that could create further Sandmen out of the sleep dust in humans' eyes throughout the solar system.This was without a doubt, the most incredible theater experience I’ve ever had. They were defeated when the Twelfth Doctor destroyed the space station's gravity shields, and the Doctor and Clara Oswald planned to destroy any remaining Morpheus pods to stop any more Sandmen. Rassmussen released the supposed original Sandman, dubbed " Patient Zero", from its pod. The Sandmen attacked the Le Verrier space station, and later killed the rescue team members Deep-Ando, 474 and Chopra, while they were looking for Gagan Rassmussen, Morpheus' inventor. ![]() The Sandmen absorbed their victims by reaching out branches of sleep dust to drag them into the Sandman itself. The sandmen were also blind and relied on their hearing to hunt and consume their prey. The Sandmen could break apart into piles of sleep dust that were also released into the air that could gather information. The pod changed the fundamental chemistry of the brain by sending a coded electronic signal to certain parts of it. " Sandmen" was the name given by Clara Oswald and the Twelfth Doctor to a carnivorous form of life created in the 38th century by human sleep dust after sleeping in a Morpheus pod.
