Sleep No More

Synopsis

Radio programme documenting what it is like to experience pioneering British immersing theatre company Punchdrunk’s production of Macbeth, for which the company has transformed 100,000 square feet of New York City warehouse space into a meticulously detailed world — a kind of Macbeth theme park. Punchdrunk artistic director Felix Barrett shows host Kurt Andersen around the set. Audience members are free to wander through the space and encounter performers as they pass through 100 meticulously designed rooms.
