  • Sleep No More is the New York City production of an immersive work of theatre created by British theatre company Punchdrunk. It is primarily based on William Shakespeare's Macbeth, with inspiration also taken from noir films (especially those of Alfred Hitchcock), as well as some reference to the 1697 Paisley witch trials. It is expanded from their original 2003 London incarnation (at the Beaufoy Building) and their Brookline, Massachusetts 2009 collaboration with Boston's American Repertory Theatre (at the Old Lincoln School). The company reinvented Sleep No More as a co-production with Emursive, and began performances on March 7, 2011. Sleep No More won the 2011 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and won Punchdrunk special citations at the 2011 Obie Awards for design and choreography. Sleep No More adapts the story of Macbeth, deprived of nearly all spoken dialogue and set primarily in a dimly-lit, 1930s-era establishment called the McKittrick Hotel, whose website claims it has been recently "restored" but which is actually a block of warehouses in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, transformed into a hotel-like performance space. Sleep No More's presentational form is considered promenade theatre, in which the audience walks at their own pace through a variety of theatrically designed rooms, as well as environmental theatre, in which the physical location, rather than being a traditional playhouse, is an imitation of the actual setting. It is also best described as immersive theatre, rather than interactive theatre, because although the audience may move through the settings, interact with the props, or observe the actors at their own pace, their interference has no bearing on the story or the performers except in rare instances. Contrary to what some believe, Sleep No More is not any kind of haunted attraction. In their exploration, audience members can come upon instances of full nudity, bright lights (including strobe lights), lasers, fog, and haze, as well as being separated from the rest of their party. The email that guests receive upon their impending experience does note that the work is best experienced individually, and that audience members might experience "intense psychological situations."

  • 不眠之夜(英語:Sleep No More)是劇場公司所创作的沉浸式戏剧,其內容根據威廉·莎士比亚《麦克白》、黑色电影以及等故事情節改編而來。2011年3月7日,不眠之夜在美国紐約首演。 2016年12月14日,Punchdrunk International在与上海广播电视台旗下的上海文广演艺(集团)有限公司合作下,不眠之夜開始在上海市演出,表演地點位于静安区北京西路的麥金儂酒店。 不眠之夜與一般戲劇不同的是,观众不必坐在觀眾席,他们可以戴着面具,跟随演员移动。此外不眠之夜一場演出時間基本只有3小時,僅看一場演出根本無法獲知所有劇情。以在上海演出的不眠之夜為例,其演出地點為6层建筑物,內有90个房间,參演演員為24名演员,因而带来紛繁複雜的故事劇情,因此多次反复购票的观众比例很高。 (zh)
