Sleep No More: Immersive Theatre Experience

Sleep No More is an immersive theatrical production by Punchdrunk that takes audience members through a reimagined version of Shakespeare's Macbeth in a five-story warehouse space. Guests are free to explore the detailed sets and interact with the wordless performers at their own pace.

What is Sleep No More?

Sleep No More is an award-winning immersive theater production created by British theater company Punchdrunk. It's an inventive reimagining of the Shakespeare play Macbeth set inside a vast five-story warehouse space in New York City.

Audience members are given Venetian-style masks to wear that make them anonymous as they explore the 100 rooms and environments throughout the building. The rooms bring to life the world of the play through richly detailed sets and atmospheres ranging from the Macbeth family's mansion to a graveyard to an eerie forest.

As guests wander through the space at their own pace, they encounter wordless actors who perform scenes from the story. The production is choreographed like a dance, with the performers gliding seamlessly from scene to scene. Audiences are free to follow different characters to view the story from varying perspectives.

The result is an intensely intimate, disorienting, and personal experience unlike a traditional play. With its detailed worldbuilding and emphasis on exploration over passive viewing, Sleep No More pioneered a new form of theater that draws from elements of video games, haunted houses, and promenade theater. Its long-running success has inspired new waves of immersive productions worldwide.
