CELEBRATES HALLOWEEN
WITH WEEK-LONG MASQUERADE
OCTOBER 26-31
AT THE MCKITTRICK HOTEL
New York, NY – Sleep No More will celebrate Halloween with a week-long masquerade. From October 26 through October 31, Sleep No More will host a series of exclusive evenings at the McKittrick Hotel (530 W 27th Street, New York, NY). Each of those nights will be shaped by its own unique concept, and will feature special acts inside the venue, following regularly scheduled performances. While the majority of tickets to the Festival performances will be reserved for VIP guests, an extremely limited number will be made available for sale to the general public (please continue to check www.sleepnomorenyc.com or follow @sleepnomorenyc on Twitter for up-to-the-minute ticket updates). Additional information will be announced shortly.
Punchdrunk's Sleep No More is an award-winning theatrical experience that tells Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Macbeth through a darkly cinematic lens. Audiences move freely through the epic world of the story at their own pace, choosing where to go and what to see, ensuring that everyone’s journey is different and unique. Sleep No More began performances on Monday, March 7, and officially opened on Wednesday, April 13 to rave reviews. It has since gone on to win such theatrical honours as the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and the Obie Awards’ Special Citation for Design & Choreography.
The creative team features Felix Barrett (Direction and Design), Maxine Doyle (Direction and Choreography), Stephen Dobbie (Sound Design), Beatrice Minns (Design Associate), and Livi Vaughan (Design Associate).
