Notes from Awkwardville
If you see me at Manderley, it is *totally* okay to come say hi to me and say “hey you’re scorchedthesnake.” I’ll introduce myself with my real name right away.
I’ve had far, far more awkward moments than that could be, believe me. Both in life in general and more specifically, at that bar in particular. /imakebadchoicesatholidayparties

A Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes: Sleep No More →
lace-polka-dots:
I know it’s almost 1 am on a Monday night but I just got home and there’s no way I could sleep after what I just experienced.
For those of you who don’t know, Sleep No More is a theatrical production based on Shakespeare’s MacBeth but to call it a show or a play would be a hell of a crime. You…

I Sleep No More . . . Again
Fantastic reader submission:
Hi! I’ve been to SNM three times (I know, I’m behind), attended Hecate’s Valentine after party (made the red masks in the photos you reblogged from melissaanelli) and am currently trying not to go insane with the anticipation of my fourth visit on March 1st!
I was just looking back at something I wrote in Dec. after my second visit and my very first one-on-one. It was...

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had, not even sure what happened but I’m glad it did
People if you’re ever in the nyc area, go experience sleep no more, it’s worth it

Sator Square
I got this question quite a while ago from rinsquared:
The bed picture you just posted - what is the meaning behind the square? I searched for this after seeing the show… but couldn’t find anything helpful.
It’s called a Sator Square; the linked Wikipedia article actually now includes a mention of the square that is found in a drawer in the Macduff apartment on the third floor. ...
resetyourprops asked: How many times have you seen SNM and where do you get the monies? When are they going to make you their official PR rep? Thanks for introducing me to the beautiful fandom :)
Fashion Forward: Punchdrunk and McQ →
when-strange-becomes-normal:
Felix Barrett, Artistic Director for Punchdrunk and one of the creative geniuses behind ‘Faust’, ‘Masque of the Red Death’, ‘Sleep No More’ etc., discusses the company’s work with McQ for their breathtaking show during London’s Fashion Week. Some stills can be seen here and, for those who can’t wait for the inevitable Hi-Def video, a passable video can be viewed...

Milestones!
Yay! 50 followers! Thanks everyone.
But in bigger news: tonight is the 400th performance of Sleep No More in New York. Congratulations to cast and crew on the run so far!
Paul Zivkovich added me on Facebook.
resetyourprops:
DAY.
MADE.
WHAT.
YES.
As if chasing him up and down the stairs for an hour wasn’t enough (he played Macbeth, of course you stay on his trail and elbow everyone out of your way), I messaged him afterwards to geek out about the show and how incredible his performance was. He replied AND NOW WE ARE OFFICIAL FACEBOOK FRIENDS WHICH IS TOTALLY THE SAME THING AS REAL LIFE FRIENDS...

The McKittrick Hotel- Valentine's Day - w4m - 21...
In the “Sleep No More missed connections” category, another fan for the Speakeasy Barman:
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/mis/2856517080.html
I found you first in the speakeasy on the fourth floor of the hotel, tending bar. After a bloody massacre and a body gone missing, you cleaned up the mess as if nothing had happened. I followed you- your eyes held something behind them,...
One-Cycle Tour
Like I mentioned, I’m taking my parents to see Sleep No More on Monday night. Partly because they’ll probably only see it once, partly because the dark might be rough, and partly because I don’t know how much stair climbing my dad’s knees can bear, I figured I’d give them a bit of a tour for one cycle’s worth of show so they can see highlights, then leave them...

kppearl:
Here is Part 2, in which the mystery and more scenes play out. I hope to have the rest up this weekend. Enjoy:
What happened next was unreal. Retracing my steps back out into the street a smaller crowd had gathered; this time however, I did not stick with them opting instead to venture…
Untitled 05: McKittrick Thrice →
iamimitation:
Never really collected my thoughts on SNM, but I feel it should be done. Albeit this is quite rambling, I don’t think I expose too much for those who have not traveled the halls of the McKittrick, but those who have will understand.
Valentine’s day was my third time visiting the McKittrick. Was…

In an attempt to recount and hold on to the memories of last Tuesday and Hecate’s Valentine Party at Sleep No More, I’ve decided to write down as best I can what it was I witnessed. Upon doing so I’ve come to realize that it would perhaps be best if I broke up the account into a series of…

Hecate's Valentine
Hecate’s Valentine at Sleep No More was a fantastic party. Compared with the Halloween events and New Year’s Eve, it was a modest affair, and that worked in every way to its advantage. The performance didn’t feel stuffed to the gills, and the afterparty also had breathing room, which made for a much more pleasant experience. As always the music and drinks were great. The gala...

rust—andstardust:
Okay, so my valentine wasn’t funny at all. She was quite smoldering and serious, and beautiful. Her name was Hecate, and I met her at the McKittrick Hotel for my fourth visit to the always-incredible Sleep No More. Last night was definitely the best visit I have ever had, and I’ll describe it in…
Just a correction to one detail in this account, the Boy Witch was...

Pass the Smelling Salts
Reader submission:
Watching the pas de deux between David Botana and William Popp this past weekend gives me hope that ‘Sleep No More’ slash fiction is in the works. While less malevolent than Jordan Morley’s boy witch, David’s assured performance has sleek, fiery sex appeal in spades. It’s a miracle I didn’t pass out while in the phone booth with him haha.
