Experience Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in a new way with the immersive play "Sleep No More Seoul"! We've compiled everything you need to know, including performance interpretations, reviews, prices, and ticket booking tips.

 

1. Sleep No More, what kind of show is this?

"Sleep No More" is a performance based on "Macbeth," one of Shakespeare's four major tragedies.

However, it is not in the form of actors exchanging lines like in the plays we are familiar with.

 

- Nonverbal performance without dialogue
- An immersive play where the audience follows the actors and experiences the story.
- It's one story, but the interpretation and composition are completely different depending on who you follow.

 

That's why there's a saying, "There may be people who have seen it once, but there's no one who has seen it only once."

2. In Seoul? And the entire hotel is a stage?

yes that's right!
The Seoul performance was held at the Daehan Theater in Chungmuro, which was completely remodeled and transformed into the 1930s Scottish hotel concept, The McKithan Hotel.

- 5 floors, over 80 rooms
- Concept rooms such as hospital, forest, and office
- Around 30 actors perform various scenes simultaneously in real time.

The audience freely roams this expansive space, creating their own "narrative." It was truly refreshing to see the stage and the audience not separated, but rather to follow the story myself.

4. Review after seeing it in person (feat. Real Tips)

I never knew that wearing a mask and following an actor, feeling the story through gestures and music without any dialogue could be this immersive.

- The first cycle followed Macbeth's point of view.
- The second one followed Lady Macbeth's maid.
- It felt like a completely different feeling, a completely different story.

 

5. Collection of viewing tips

- Clothing: Comfortable, cool clothes + sneakers are a must! (You'll sweat a lot.)
- Waiting before entering: You can wait while watching a jazz performance at Manderley Bar.
- Contact lenses are recommended over glasses: the mask + mask combination is uncomfortable for glasses.
- Understanding the story: It will be much more helpful if you look at the synopsis of 'Macbeth' in advance.
- Quiet viewing is essential: there is also one-on-one interaction with the actors, so immerse yourself!
