The audience of "Sleep No More" at the McKinnon Hotel has the freedom to move throughout the six-story venue, catching sight of performers.

Contemporary dance and period costumes from the 1930s are fused together to present Shakespeare's Macbeth in a highly innovative way.

Each character's costume has been designed and made to evoke a dark and decadent period, mixing the Chinese and Western influences of Shanghai in the 1930s.

New characters and pieces of the narrative are found in unexpected places.

A street market and alleyway have been created in the space, complete with fizzing neon signs.

From tincture bottles to notepads, all the props in the McKinnon Hotel have either been sourced or made to be in keeping with the era.

Artist Director Felix Barrett says he will watch the performance around 20 times in order to see all the performers.

MacBeth explore the effects of the pursuit and power, something that the producers of PunchDrunk believe is a universally relatable theme no matter where it is performed.

Mysterious bottles can be picked up and examined in any of the rooms in the "hotel."

The cast is a mix of Chinese and western performers and only a minimum of dialogue is used in both Chinese and English.
