Abstract
In 2011, the Punchdrunk Theater Company brought its intriguing “immersive theater” mash-up of Macbeth and film noir to Chelsea warehouses in NYC. Supporting the show’s attempt to create a holistic mood that goes beyond a traditional performance “stage,” “SLEEP NO MORE” is inscribed on the sidewalk yards away from the entrance to “The McKittrick,” which is the character of the dormant hotel in which the show takes place (Figure 7.1).
