The image is a beautiful one, despite Macbeth's tortured state, showing the powerfully restorative effects of sleep within a chaotic and disordered world. The metaphor is of fabric ( "sleave" an archaic word for a type of fine thread), of tangled threads smoothed out and knitted up by the diligent attention of (here) sleep. Macbeth continues to expound the benefits of sleep through a gentle, feminine image of sleep "that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care". He cannot forget that the sleep is "innocent" it is a vulnerable, victim-like state, but also its tranquillity is the preserve of the innocent. He alienates himself from recovery and, like the murder, he sees this as an irreversible state. The personification of sleep shows the causality – he has sacrificed his own sleep by putting Duncan to a permanent 'sleep'. Macbeth is punished by sleeplessness because he has "murder sleep". "Sleep" is repeated four times in three lines and it shifts in its associations. The voice he hears is more obviously imaginary than the previous cry of "murder" and far more accusatory, eerie in its imperative force and lack of clear speaker: "Sleep no more / Macbeth doth murder sleep". Even in the most literal part of this extract, there is ambiguity: the guards "cry", either an exclamation of shock or of pain. Be prepared to go alone.In the depths of guilt and paranoia, Macbeth questions his own sanity in the doubtful "methought". Before being released from the elevator out into one of the 5 floors of the McKittrick, guests are advised to go alone and “adventure favors the bold.” You may arrive at “Sleep No More” with a friend, significant other or a group, but the mysteries of the rooms and their own curiosity might pull them away from you, and becoming separated from the people you came with is highly likely.Due to this, no one under 18 is allowed inside the building without a parent or guardian present, and those 13 and under are not allowed onto the premises at all. When you enter “Sleep No More,” you consent to entering the private quarters of the guests which includes nudity, violence, and gore.The show is interactive as well as immersive so avoid eye contact with the characters if you wish not to be pulled (literally) into the story as well as intoxicated, danced with or kissed.Hotel staff members wear black masks, while the actors are the only ones whose faces are revealed. Everyone who enters “Sleep No More” is given a white mask that must be worn the whole time to hide your identity from the guests as well as distinguish you from the characters.Join Maria Phlem (left) and Gabriel Forestieri (right) for an immersive theatre-going experience. The immersive nature of the show makes one’s experience completely different from one person to the next, and the complexity and details of the storylines and setting ensures that visit 1 through visit 10 will be a unique and equally exciting experience.
SLEEP NO MORE MOVIE
“Sleep No More” is the closest thing I have experienced to living out a dream (or nightmare) or being in a movie in real life. Why: Curiosity overcame my fear when I attended “Sleep No More.” The show is not intended to be scary, but guests are advised upon booking their reservations that they may experience “intense psychological situations.” The show puts even the bravest out of their comfort zone, and turns the most fearful into persevering detectives trying to piece together the lives of the characters.
SLEEP NO MORE FREE
From there, you are free to explore any and all of the 5 floors, but beware, once you step out of the elevator, you may no longer be in New York City. You are lead through a maze and end up at the Manderley Hotel Bar where you are greeted by jazz singers and concierges.
Where: Your journey begins as soon as you “check-in” to The McKittrick Hotel at 530 W 27th St. The McKittrick Hotel is booking reservations from now until April 7, 2019. The story is a 3-hour, psychological experience that will leave you with sleepless nights. What: “Sleep No More” is an immersive, theatrical experience of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” It does not tell, so much as plunge you into the story of the Scottish play through a film-noir lens. Who: Theatergoers, thrill-seekers, Shakespeare-lovers, horror-enthusiasts and film noir-fans alike are invited to spend a night with the mysterious guests of The McKittrick Hotel Readers are cordially invited to a unique theatre-going experience.
