My mate Katie invited me to the dress rehersal of Punchdrunk's first NYC show: Sleep No More on Saturday.
It was completely awesome.
If you are in or near NYC, you should go.
Trust me.
If you are lucky enough to have been to a Punchdrunk show before - this is the biggest and best I've seen, and I've seen a few.
If you are lucky enough to have never been to a Punchdrunk show before - goodness me you are in for a treat.
Imagine if a play was turned inside out.
It became an immersive adventure splayed out across a 6 story, beautifully detailed, building, that you explore at your leisure, every member of what we used to call the audience having a different experience, as they stumble across dramatic fragments and piece together what used to be called the plot.
Of Macbeth, in this case, except re-imagined as a film [very] noir in a 1930's hotel.
You can - and if you are in NYC you really should - get tickets here.
Sleep No More - Punchdrunk Doth Murder Sleep.
Ahem.
[Tip: Look out for the candy room - you can grab a handful.]
