Interactive play to debut
Print Edition
THE wildly popular interactive play “Sleep No More” will make its Asian debut in China’s first “immersive” theater, which will open in Jing’an by the end of this year, according to the Shanghai Administration of Culture, Radio, Film and TV.
The show will be staged in December in the five-story McKinnon Hotel on Beijing Road W., a rehabilitated 1930s-era performance space.
“Sleep No More” is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Macbeth.” It has no dialogue. Audiences are allowed to move freely through a variety of theatrically designed rooms, keeping silent along the way.
Shanghai will be the fourth city in the world to stage the show, following performances in London, Boston and New York.
Tickets will go on sale in September, according to its UK-based Punchdrunk, which first staged the show in London in 2003.
Under a government’s plan, the McKinnon Hotel Theater, along with the venerable Majestic and Yihai theaters, will form a cultural hub to rival New York’s Broadway and London’s West End.
