MCKITTRICK HOTEL SLEEP NO MORE MOVIE
The whole experience felt like being in the midst of a horror film, right down to the unnerving, drawn-out lead-ups - those moments in every scary movie when you’re pleading with the main character, “ DON’T GO INTO THE HAUNTED DUSTY ATTIC, GODDAMNIT!”Īs the show ended, the entire audience burst into a standing ovation.
To our right was the performance room, with a humble stage and rows of chairs divided by spacious walkways in between the seating sections.Ĭomplete with menacing dolls, vengeful lady ghosts, graveyards, fog and the feeling that the Woman in Black is always right behind your shoulder, the production had me literally screaming and digging my nails into my guest’s arm. It’s almost as if the staff was getting us liquored up to quell our nerves for something … most likely the GHOST STORY I mentioned. On our left was a standalone train car complete with flickering lights and a custom drink menu, which included the lavender-infused Sleep No More cocktail (which I, a lavender essential oil fiend, obviously ordered) and shots of Jameson on the house. Upon exiting the elevator, it was as if we’d emerged from a time machine and been whisked into the 1930s. And while you might assume that I, a writer and marginally educated person, would know that anything with the words “ghost story” in its title could be on par with seeing The Exorcism of Emily Rose alone in a dark theater, you would be wrong.Īs my guest and I were ushered into an old-timey elevator that looks like it could break down at any second (but is fully functioning, don’t worry), I began to feel like I had just entered the Haunted House at Disneyland - the whole place is dimly lit, and with the entire audience in masks, every person who walked by carried with them an air of ominous anonymity. I love the idea of settling into an experience without any expectations, which allows the many startles and shocks of the the-a-ter to truly tickle the senses. I have this strange habit of not researching a show at all before I see it - not even a peek at reviews. On an appropriately cold and windy fall evening, I had the opportunity to check out The Woman in Black on its opening weekend. before, this is the first time it’s gotten The McKittrick’s site-specific treatment, which means experiencing it as was originally intended: in a pub. Two years later, the show moved to the West End and has remained there - as well as touring internationally - ever since. The show was originally adapted for the stage by Stephen Mallatratt more than 30 years ago, when it premiered in a Scarborough bar. That, of course, was right before the whole world shut down, but at the time, The New York Times had named the show a “Critic’s Pick” and it picked up quite a few other accolades, including “Best Play Revival” from the Off-Broadway Alliance and nominations for three Drama League Awards.ĭirected by Robin Herford, The Woman in Black tells the story of a young lawyer who stumbles upon a small town with a grave secret. The title of the show may sound familiar for a couple of reasons: 1) the book of the same name by Susan Hill from which the show was adapted from was also made into a bone-chilling feature film starring Daniel Radcliffe, and 2) the production has actually been staged in the McKittrick Hotel once before, in early 2020. But the eccentric creative hub, which had to close its doors for much of the pandemic, is finally back in partnership with PW Productions and Pemberly Perry with the revival of the critically acclaimed immersive haunt The Woman in Black: A Ghost Story in a Pub.
