Sleep No More, the new
Plymouth Point trilogy defies categorization. Part detective game, part performance experience,
Plymouth Point shares
Sleep No Moreâs immersive, all-consuming quality. Now, audiences can catch it through Playbill Experiences April 8 with tickets available to purchase through 8 PM ET April 7.
What makes
Plymouth Point all the more impressive is the fact that it was created under U.K. lockdown, with Garrity and Jones dreaming up new ways to tell a story via Zoom and then calling their cast members to have them raid their closets for costumes. The end result feels anything but scrappy, however, with sleek finishes, high-caliber acting, and even a few cinematic moments.
