Update/correct listing

One of Britain's most celebrated and cutting-edge companies visits New York with its immersive style. This adaptation of 'Macbeth' is performed at the Chelsea's McKittrick Hotel, but instead of following the Scottish killer from Act 1 to Act 5, you can wander the hotel's halls, following the story at your own pace.

Review
For the first time, Punchdrunk brings their cutting-edge performance work from England to NYC, and they've quickly insinuated themselves into the artistic conversation. Maybe you've heard about “Sleep No More”: it's a five-story environment in a Chelsea hotel. For three hours, you explore and investigate, following a performer or or just wandering. An elevator may leave you in a 1940s lounge or a Bellevue-type asylum; you turn a corner in a library and find yourself wandering through foggy maze into dirt-thick graveyard. Audiences go masked, but the genius of “Sleep” is that it makes the imagination a vital part of the work. You wouldn't call “Sleep No More” a piece of theater except in the broadest sense; it's more of a site-specific environmental stage with actor/dancers. Invite a group of friends, but be sure to split up. Afterwards, you can share the weird visions others missed.
