sleep no more

Adult haunted house as a teaser for a fabulous restaurant.








Sleep No More is an interactive play going on in NYC.  They've converted a few warehouses into a giant 6 story set with a flapper era/speakeasy theme, two bars and a restaurant.  The set decoration and costumes are fabulous, the music is disturbing and haunting, and it is loosely based on Macbeth.

I was caught up in exploring the sets.  I should have followed the actors for I missed the ending of the show.  The sets were amazingly well-appointed and each room was creepier than the next.  There was a "safe" room, the Speakeasy itself, where one could sit and listen to a fantastic band and singer while drinking cocktails and taking off the mask they made you wear in the stage area.
After the play, the hostess managed to squeeze me into a table at the restaurant.  The food is amazing and worth it.  I suggest reservations be made as they are packed when the play ends.
