Sleep No More, but move non-stop

"I'm always excited by dancers who have a kind of danger," Maxine Doyle, the show's choreographer, said.  In many ways Sleep No More is a dance in the guise of a theatre piece.  (It is directed by Felix Barrett and Doyle.)  And while all of the elements contribute to the largely wordless performance - including the set, lighting, sound and movement - Doyle, laughing, described the production as "a theater show with a dance company in the middle."

Luke Murphy, a cast member, said, "It's so rare to be even referred to as dancers." More often, he said, "We get 'mute actors.'  "In Sleep No More, which became a cult hit when it opened in New York in April, audience members devise their own paths by deciding, over the course of three hours, which characters to follow and when.  If you get tired of running after Macbeth, the Bald Witch or Banquo, there's a lively bar scene.  Ben Brantley, in his review in The New York Times, called the play "a voyeur's delight."
