[Xangai · Teatro Imersivo] Noite Sem Fim Sleep no more

“Sleep No More” Shanghai is a truly unforgettable and one-of-a-kind immersive theatre experience. To fully enjoy it, here are some tips: your Didi or taxi may not be able to stop right at the entrance—get dropped off at St. Regis lobby across the street and walk over. Although entry time suggests arriving 30 minutes early, many guests show up much earlier to get better positions. Start your evening at the bar with a non-alcoholic drink (best to avoid alcohol—you’ll be standing and walking for 3+ hours). No phones allowed inside. Read up on the story if you want, or just follow one character for an hour at a time to see their arc unfold.

It’s been 3 days and I’m still thinking about the play. Unlike traditional theatrics plays, viewers or “ghosts” get to roam around the set, explore props and follow actors to watch the various scenes unfold. To understand the story, viewers have to piece the different scenes together. It’s near impossible to understand the story in 1 sitting if you go in uninitiated as different scenes will unfold concurrently with different actors - hence if you plan to view it once, do some reading on Macbeth to draw parallels to the core storyline. There are side stories that support the main themes - read up on Rebecca by Alfred Hitchcock (movie) or Daphne du Maurier (book) and the Legend of the White Snake for the Shanghai run. Wear comfy shoes as you will be walking for ~2 hours and do expect some pushing as other guests might chase after actors. Have fun and may fortune favour the brave!

Apparently, the drama is a combination of 蝴蝶梦, Macbeth and Rebecca. Would recommend to look at these three in depth before coming for the drama as it would be more understandable and engaging this way. The residents were great. Though it’s a bit expensive, but woah, I would come again definitely when I’m in town next time.

기대했던 공연이지만 하필이면 예약 당일 몸 컨디션이 좋지 않아 갈지 말지 고민을 많이 했습니다. 그렇지만 후회를 남기고 싶지 않다는 생각에 공연장을 방문했고, 탁월한 선택이었습니다. 세 시간 동안 잠시도 쉬지 않고 부지런히 다녔다고 생각했는데 제가 본 건 빙산의 일각에 불과하네요. 충격적이에요. 앞으로 최소 열 번 정도는 더 보고 싶어요. 클룩 덕분에 편하게 예매하고 잘 다녀왔습니다. 티켓 수령 과정에서 불편한 점이 하나도 없었어요. 다음에도 또 이용하겠습니다.

슬립노모어 일정이 하루에 가장 큰 중요한일정이었을정도로 기대하고갔습니다. 일부러 패키지A신청에다가 늦을까봐 1시간전부터 기다려서 1번으로 들어갔습니다. 많이 걷는다고했는데 진짜 관객들이 우르르 쫒아다니다보니 엄청 돌아다닙니다. 곧 한국에서 한다고하니 상하이하고는 얼마나 다른지 꼭 경험해보고싶습니다

I was an avid goer of the drowned man in London and was so sad when it got closed down. Visiting sleep no more gave me a load of nostalgia of the one in London it was amazing to see. The actors were amazing (I got two 1-1s!) and id extremely recommend anyone visiting or living in Shanghai to see this.

바로 전세계에서 뉴욕과 샹하이에서만 체험할 수 있는 이머시브 공연 슬립노모어!!! 올해 우리나라에도 대한극장 건물 리모델링 해서 들어온다던데 궁금했던 차에 들어오기 전에 보고 싶었는데 이렇게 짬이 날 줄이야 5+1층짜리 맥키넌호텔을 자유롭게 돌아다니며 체험(?) 관람(?)하는 공연으로 마스크를 한 개씩 쓰고 시작하는데 너무 재미있고 흥미로웠다

Sleep no More was truly a unique and magnificent experience like no other. The staff are very friendly. There were previous comments saying that the staff were rude but we believe it is just a language barrier. they have greatly improved by providing English instructions in written text. Actors skills were superb. Just really lots of walking up and down the stairs so wear comfy sports shoes since there is also a crowd
