We then enter the true performance space proper (an experience we won’t spoil for you here), and left to begin our completely self-guided exploration into the realm of Sleep No More.Įxperiencing Sleep No More as an individual for the first time is quite simply put, overwhelming, in the very best sense of the word, thrust into a strange, dark world headfirst, hit hard by the soundtrack one can practically feel dancing across our skin as it reverberates around us, comprising tunes from the likes of Vertigo, Citizen Kane and more.

Dedicated to a full immersive experience, our phones are kept sealed up in a small, locked pouch, and swear ourselves to silence. We don’t have to wait too long however, before the hotel owners are introduced to us, serenaded with a song, and divvied up into groups to enter the hotel itself, one set at a time. Guided to the fictitious McKinnon Hotel near the heart of Shanghai’s central shopping belt, ‘guests’ begin their journey as they deposit their coats and bags at the cloakroom, before proceeding to a cosy bar. Taking inspiration from Shakespeare’s bloody tragedy Macbeth, and melding it with classic film noir and horror films, Sleep No More cemented Punchdrunk’s position as one of the world’s most renowned and forward thinking theatre companies with its ingenious, impossibly complicated concept, somehow planned and produced to perfection. Three years on from its premiere in 2016, and Sleep No More continues to be a hit both with the local Chinese market and international visitors, with sold out runs each night from returning fans and newborn obsessives with the immersive theatre phenomenon.
SHANGHAI, CHINA – How does one even begin to describe what is already one of the best immersive theatre productions in existence? After enjoying immense success across London and New York, Punchdrunk made a journey to the East to bring Sleep No More to Shanghai, certainly, the kind of theatre that heralded nothing China had ever seen before.
The definitive immersive theatre experience deserves its success and all the accolades.
