One fellow audience member fell asleep and another fainted. Once it does occur it can be very good.or just completely dull. But none of it really makes sense.as you really only get to see little bits of the action. At times it feels like you are chasing actors and battling with other 'audience' members to get a view. There are a lot of people in the event with action occuring in random places. Once in, eventually, there is a bit of time to grab a drink.before you are set loose. This event is not cheap.but they take the opportunity to charge you 4dollars for hanging up a coat which seems a bit unnecessary. The bad.had to que for 40 minutes to get in. Not sure…ģ) The very end of the show, which I found powerful and shocking the first time, was played much safer in last night’s performance, and it just did not have the same effect. I’m not sure the reason for this except that I thought perhaps some of the detail/objects were removed from the rooms to prevent pilfering, and the lights were turned down so the rooms wouldn’t look bare. I’m thinking of the Macbeth bedroom and the sanatorium room with the cots. I do think the experience is more powerful/intense if you go it alone.Ģ) Certain rooms/scenes were so dark that you could barely see what was going on. This could have been because they were running late with getting everyone in due to checking everyone’s Covid tests and vaccination cards. But some things about the show had also changed from the pre-Covid era.ġ) They didn’t try to separate couples/groups, and they didn’t have you hang out in the bar at the beginning.
My experience was different the second time around, partly because I knew the lay of the land, had some things in mind that I wanted to focus on, and felt slightly more comfortable in the environment. I had such FOMO the first time that I couldn’t wait to go back to see those scenes I heard about but missed (including the techno party scene). But the most intriguing part of it is that there’s always something else to explore.
The physicality of the acting/movement is impressive, and somehow the actors manage to maneuver around the audience. Sleep no More is completely transporting (and creepy). Last night I returned for a second time, seeing the newly reopened and slightly revised version of the show. I attended Sleep No More for the first time in early 2020–right before it was shut down due to Covid.
