You enter the hotel by way of a Tower of Terror-style elevator, and are released into the event divorced of language: all of the actors are also dancers, and so they perform the scenes in the play through movement alone. (Don’t do that.) You’re given one of those Eyes Wide Shut Venetian masks and instructed not to speak during your “stay” at the hotel. You could spend the entire three hours admiring the set, if you wanted.

It has five floors of shadowy, immaculately decorated sets, including the beautifully decadent Manderley Bar, a creepy hospital straight out of Silent Hill, a misty graveyard, and a full suite of luxurious bedrooms and offices. Punchdrunk created the “McKittrick Hotel” out of a bunch of warehouses stitched together in Chelsea. If I had to describe Sleep No More in a single sentence, I’d say that it’s like taking the scenes in Macbeth out of the play and running them simultaneously for three hours in a 1930’s Hitchcock hotel that you can walk through. But for those of you who want to get the most bang out of your buck, I’ll give you some pointers for your first visit, as well as what to expect if you spring for dinner and after-party tickets. People say Sleep No More is unlike anything you’ve experienced before, and they’re right. It’s something you just have to experience for yourself, at least for the first go-around.
If you’re unfamiliar with Punchdrunk’s immersive NYC theater experience Sleep No More, my real advice is to skip this primer and go straight to the event knowing nothing at all.
