If you decide to purchase a ticket to anything other than the earliest time slot, know that you will be missing out on the very beginning of the story. SLEEP NO MORE is an immersive adaptation of Macbeth with a run time of about three hours. I want to share it with others, and more importantly, I want to pass on the respect and gratitude that I feel toward the show. All of this is to say that I care deeply about this show. The memory of that very first visit led me to seek out the immersive theater community in L.A. Particular songs, smells, or even the décor in some hip speakeasy will immediately snap me back to 2011 and the first time that I experienced the show. One might even say my wedding had a subtle SLEEP NO MORE theme. I spent a summer working front of house on the show and sneaking into the space on my breaks. I’ve shelled out money that I didn’t really have in order to return to the McKittrick Hotel a dozen times since the show opened. Now, I don’t claim to be the end-all-be-all expert, but for the better part of a decade, this show has been a constant influence in my life. Still just as obsessed as ever, my friend had volunteered on the show by “fireproofing the apothecary,” a phrase that sounded completely ridiculous at the time, but is wholly impressive in retrospect. A few years later, in March of 2011, SLEEP NO MORE opened its doors in New York. ![]() I can only remember tiny details something about Shakespeare, something about the show being staged in an old elementary school, and something about… dancing? I didn’t get it. ![]() I had never seen someone talk about a show with such fervor.

Audience members don masks and must be silent during the experience. Punchdrunk artistic director Felix Barrett directed and designed the work that takes a non-linear approach to its storytelling, allowing theatregoers to freely explore the dark environment, where scenes, tableaux and scenarios play out, conjuring the world and themes of Shakespeare's bloody tale. The dimly-lit spectacle, loosely based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, takes up residence at the McKittrick Hotel (also a Victorian-style location made famous in the Hitchcock film "Vertigo"), a redesigned commercial space located at 530 West 27th Street that formerly served as a Chelsea nightclub.
