The place closes at 10 pm and you are allowed to roam freely inside for as long as you like. I would suggest getting the 7 pm ticket, so you would have more time to explore the sets and follow more than one character. Knowing the storyline before hand would be a great idea, so you can appreciate what is going on in the whole play better. In the end, we spent about 3 hours inside the ‘theatre’, which was the recommended amount of time to spend there. THIS IS AMAZING!!! I’m going to start from the beginning and follow a different character this time.You know what, I may actually start to have a clue on what’s going on.And of course, there was alcohol served at the bar). Oh, nice six packs, Macbeth! (There are a few bits of nudity and bizarre scenes, which was probably why they were checking our IDs at the entrance.I’m slightly jealous at Lady Macbeth’s toned arms and legs.And all the characters stayed impressively in character despite being stared by so many people all around them. I basically just hurt my knee and threw my dignity out of the window.) Ouch! That hurt! (I tripped over the stairs, fell flat on my face, in front of a lot of people of course.These people are all in my way!! I need to find out what he is doing!!!.Oh gosh, why did he disappear so fast? And we have to climb up so many stairs.I have no freaking clue what is going on.(TIP: Don’t worry, everyone gets a new mask since you are allowed to keep it afterwards.) I hate to think how many people have sweated in this thing. Oh I certainly hope that this mask has been sanitised.My nose is sweating and it keeps slipping off my face. This mask is starting to get uncomfortable.They can’t recognise us anyway since we are all supposed to wear masks throughout the whole journey. I don’t care if they get annoyed with us.
And the person at the place said no one was going to come out and scare us. I paid freaking 90 bucks to be scared out of my wits!!! WHY!? I’m going to turn back now and wait for my friend somewhere. All these dark corridors are scaring the hell out of me.
Why do I feel like we are going into a haunted house?.Also, you are not allowed to hold anything in your hand, so be sure to wear something with pocket so you can carry your phone and credit card around at least.) And four dollars for a bag, that’s a rip-off! (Tip: remember to travel light that day and consolidate your bags. So clearly that I decided to share some of them with you which could possibly be useful in case you are still deciding whether to go for it or not. Plus, you are not allowed to talk throughout the whole thing, which probably explained why I could hear all my thoughts very clearly. Macbeth storyline isn’t the most cheerful in the first place, and when being put in a contemporary setting, it could get rather creepy. The downside of this was that I was not mentally prepared of what was to come. The upside of this was that I went in not knowing what to expect and was pretty blown away by the whole experience by the end of it. I did not do much research before going to the play, apart from reading up on the story of Macbeth. It’s got a bedroom, a ballroom, a bar, etc, very much like a hotel, except you can’t stay in there, and trust me, you wouldn’t want to. It is an old warehouse which has been converted into five-storey sets that mimic the structure of a hotel. Don’t be misled by the name though – the McKittrick Hotel is no hotel.
The play is located at the McKittrick Hotel. We decided to splurge some money and get tickets for Sleep No More, an interactive theatrical experience based on the tragic story of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. On my last trip in NYC, my friend and I decided to be a bit more cultured after practically eating our way through Manhattan and Brooklyn for a few days in a row.
