![]() ![]() Lady Macbeth and Macbeth -Image Provided by the New York Times And that was really made the piece special was the audience. His overall take on the production was that Punchdrunk was attempting to elicit the feelings of guilty pleasure that accompany acts of voyeurism. The mood-matching sound design includes period pop recordings (“Goodnight Children, Everywhere,” “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square”), techno music (but only for the witches) and swoony, suspenseful Bernard Herrmann scores for Hitchcock movies.” ” The knockout set pieces (and the detail in every room is remarkable) include a painterly banquet scene and an unnerving black mass sequence led by three ambisexual witches. ![]() Brantley was more than complimentary regarding the production design stating: Macbeth and His Lady Dance -All photos provided by the New York Times I might just have to, because I can’t help but think that thought he liked the show, Ben Brantley simply didn’t get it. While I know it’s a bit ‘meta’ to write a review, of a review, of a show I worked on (I assisted the designers). If you like this review, please thanks.Yesterday the New York Times released their review of ‘S leep No More‘ along with new production shots of the performance. I think this is not a play advised to handicap people, sometimes actors run up and downstairs and if you don't follow them in time, you will loose them! Have fun. You can touch and explore the space, instead following actors, however, you will loose crucial moment. I won't give more tips, in order you have also mistery involved and get your own experience. I think with these tips, you would be capable to identify the characters and wiil not feel lost. Phil Atkins played Duncan, the King (however they can change and role different caracthers in other dates). Macbeth will kill the king with a pillow near his room. A room with a door to a chapel (king's room). A bath in the middle of the room (macbeth room), in this room things with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth will happen (you can follow one of them). If you see a man in a room shaving another (it s duncan son shaving the king). If you see a "rave party" with a naked guy dancing (boy witch), this is the prophecy of the witches saying that Macbeth will be king and there will be a "baby" in this prophecy. After this reunion in the table, they will split and will go to different floors, so prepare yourself to follow one of the actors and sometimes to "run" (you can choose macbeth or lady macbeth to understand more of the story). One of the witches (bald woman) will be in the left side of the king and his son on his right side. The actor with blood in his face will be Macbeth (and lady macbeth will be in the oposite site of the table). The actor in the middle of the table will be Duncan (the king). If this is your first time, try to follow an actor! There will be a part where they will be all together in a table, like the last soup (this repeats 2 times). ![]() Use nice shoes and be prepare to run following the actors (you may pay at entrance 5$ to drop-off the coat, but that's not obligatory, you can have your coat with you all the time!). They will give you a card at entrance with a number and they will call you to the elevator during your stay in the jazz bar! Don't waste time drinking drinks in the bar! You can drink it (with time) after the show! Go to the lift, put the mask and you will be dropped in a floor (there are 5 floors). First of all, "Sleep no More" mixs "Macbeth" from Shakespeare with a little bit of "Rebecca" from Hitchcock! You should know the Macbeth story before you go (it's not fundamental for you to watch Rebecca to understand the play!) You can read (Macbeth story) in summary in Wikipedia or watch the full movie, instead you can also watch some short stories in youtube like "3 minutes macbeth story" or others! The show lasts 3 hours, and they repeat some parts 2 or 3 times! You should enter in the show as soon as possible (7:00pm tickets). This review contains tips and spoilers about "Sleep no More", if you wanna see the show without any kind of expectation don't read the following review, however if you do not want to feet "lost", while you are watching the play, this could help you a little bit. ![]()
