Changed My Life
I have attended Sleep No More 5 times over the past 8 years, and each time has been a profoundly moving experience. This show opened my eyes and my mind to what theatre and art can TRULY be. All my life I have been both a performer and a visual artist, and Sleep No More […]

a dream
I started going to the mckittrick hotel when I was 15 years old. I had found the play through a YouTube review when I was around 13 and I knew I needed to go. My mom ended up coming with me and we haven’t stop going since. This was still in the early years of […]

It hurts, it lingers
Exactly 6 months have passed since I, too, slept no more. Realising that I will only ever once set foot in the smoky shadows of the Mckittrick is poetic, sure, but also ever so depressing; I only got to grasp a flicker of the sun. Punchdrunk and the all-devouring magnetic stories they create, have changed […]

Time to Sleep
Forever grateful for the magic, and love you’ve given New Yorkers and millions of others for over a decade. You’ve changed how we look at art—you’ve created an incredible hunger for more. Now, it’s time to sleep. 🖤

Thank You Note
I just wanted to write a thank you note to the performers. To put it briefly, you’ve given me a taste of an feeling that I now crave so horribly and continuously that the only way I can think of getting more is to create it. I don’t ever remember feeling this way before. It’s […]

The Matron
I race through the maze bathed in blue light, exhilarated at the isolation of the near-empty room, then I stumbled upon a few people, standing utterly still, facing the corner. I turn and see the hut. A white mask turns and I hear a whispered, “can you see?” as a hand beckons me closer. I […]

I Left My Heart at The McKittrick
There’s only one thing about my Sleep No More experience that I wish I could change: I wish I’d heard about it sooner. It’s a dark world, but live performance and art help remind me of the collective good in us, and theater is typically my go-to form of storytelling when I want to forget […]

A Favourite Haunting
Last night I found myself in the dim lights of Gallow’s Green without a soul in sight. For a magical moment I felt terribly, wonderfully alone. I was truly unseen, a wandering ghost roaming a hollow town after/before the residents and visitors dis/appeared. As I drifted I spyed the tailor through his shop window. I […]

Purely Magical
My Dearest McKittrick, I’ve never met a temptress quite as alluring as you. Every time I visit, I discover something new and exciting: sometimes it’s a scene I’d never come across before; or it might be watching a familiar interaction from an unfamiliar angle; or perhaps it’s a small detail in the set that I’d […]

on facing my fears
I was a scared kid. Even as a teenager, I worried about the dark, fires, murderers…the list goes on. When my parents first visited the McKittrick, they told me all about it – the mystery, the stories, the drama. They knew it was something I would love. “But you’d be too scared,” they added. That […]
