Punchdrunk's Sleep No More

Apparently, a UK theater group has brought their act to the Big Apple for a performance titled "Sleep No More".  Ticket holders play the role of ghosts who get to explore rooms decorated with dark and mysterious contents while wearing plague era doctor's masks.

The performance is immersive, allowing participants to explore rooms filled with xxsx, xxxx
