Sleep No More
Creative Direction and Design for Sleep No More’s keepsake Program
Sleep No More is a New York City production of a site-specific work of theatre created by British theatre company Punchdrunk. It is primarily based on William Shakespeare's Macbeth, with inspiration also taken from noir films (especially those of Alfred Hitchcock). Sleep No More won the 2011 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and won Punchdrunk special citations at the 2011 Obie Awards for design and choreography. This french-folded, lavishly printed Program is in its thirteenth Volume, and continues to be re-printed and sell out every season.
