Sleep no more

Picture this:

Now multiple that by 150 and you get Sleep No More...

Sleep No More (http://sleepnomorenyc.com/) is an interactive play of Shakespeare's Macbeth.  It's located in an old warehouse which has about 5 floors.  Each floor has X number of rooms for the audience to explore all while a play is going on around them.  Sound strange, complicated, wondering how this is at all possible..... Well it is all of those things and more.

Once I got over my fears of 1) scary masks 2) darkness 3) being left alone to explore an abandoned warehouse (which i'm sure you're all thinking how long did it take for Raman to find me crying in the corner), I really got into the play.  The idea is that there are about 7 or 8 main characters and you follow one of those characters to see where the story takes them.

It's a pretty inventive, creative, interesting, and really cool experience and there's not much more I can say then if Sleep No More comes to a town near you, it's a once in a lifetime experience!
