They Have Scorched The Snake: Thank you Ching-I Chang:

Today we say thank you and best wishes to SNM-NYC original cast member Ching-I Chang, who we are told gave her final performance last night. A reader submits the following account:

Tonight was Ching-I Chang’s last night. I was soooo sad (I’m the same anon who wrote in last week saying that…

delilahsdawson:

Drinks at 5 at Gallow Green. We were the first ones up. The table legs looked like alligator tails. The cheese plate was divine, and although I hate honey and I hate beer and I hate jam, I ate it all and loved it and wished for more. Had a Vanessa’s Cup and a St. Germain and Prosecco and then…

1. Do you believe the current cast of SNM is inferior to the original or the 2011 cast? 2. Do you believe that SNM has no real depth and is simply stylistic? 3. Do you believe that SNM should have an end date, and one that comes sooner rather than later?

Fri, 17 May 2013 19:02:27 -0400

1. There’s no question that the current cast of SNM is inferior to the original cast.

2. No.

3. No. People are still discovering its wonder.

NYC: Sleep No More

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:42:06 -0400

mapsandraps:

It’s been a week since I “watched” Sleep No More and I’m still reveling in the experience. “Watched” seems like an inappropriate verb for what I was doing – it wasn’t as if I passively sat in a chair to a view the play. Sleep No More had me sprinting up and down flights of dimly-lit stairs, exploring the woods, chasing actors through corridors, and standing only inches away from a murder scene.

To provide some context, Sleep No More is the latest version of an interactive, site-specific work of theatre put on by the British theatre company Punchdrunk. The show has been wildly successful since its conception. The New York version takes place at the fictional McKittrick Hotel, which is actually three adjoining warehouses in Chelsea made into a mesmerizing space.

I had the stunningly wonderful chance to see Sleep No More again last night for the 3rd time thanks to the ridiculously great Tom Stoppard, who happened to have an extra ticket. At first I was apprehensive about the whole thing, because I was just there a few weeks ago and didn’t want to “ruin…

I went to Sleep No More in March, when visiting the city on a break from school. I didn’t know much about it. I asked Facebook what to do in New York City and several unconnected friends all said the same thing: go.

Without much knowledge, other than the fact it was environmental theatre loosely…

I had a dream last night where I found out it was called Sneep No Nore. I went to the show and everyone heard me call it Sleep No More and started being nasty to me and Nicholas Bruder pushed me down some stairs and laughed.

It was horrible.

Reader submission:

I went to Sleep No More for the first time while in New York this past February and it was amazing. I loved every moment and hope to go again. Lily Ockwell played the role of Lady Macduff that night and her performance was beautiful, the flow between acting and dance completely held my attention. The dedication of everyone involved with Sleep No More makes me want to do more with my life.

What is the incredible dubstep-ish music that plays during the strobe-dance stillbirth scene?

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:06:00 -0400

It’s two tracks.

The first is “Mute” by the Brash (Jokers of the Scene remix)

The second is “Reece” by Ed Rush & Optical

I had the great fortune last night to see Paul Zivkovich as Macbeth for what I assume really was the final time. He has left the show but apparently was doing a few shows last week covering for someone else.

As soon as I saw him I knew I was going to follow him all night. His performance as…

I overheard somebody in Manderley mention that Tori Sparks is leaving Sleep No More. Do you know anything about this?

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:24:00 -0500

Tori’s last show is March 9th. She will be missed.

I never found Hecate's bar (the replica of the Manderley) on my first visit... now I have to go back! How do you get to that room? What other room does it connect to?

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:30:18 -0500

The Replica Bar is a little difficult to find - it’s on the fourth floor and is accessible via a long, narrow hallway across from the Speakeasy Bar.
