Be prepared to see both male and female full frontal nudity. Our time was 7pm which gave us a chance to watch the action unfold a couple of times so we caught more of the story. That was the only way I figured out who some of the characters were and maybe why they were acting a certain way. If you still want to go, things you MUST do beforehand: - Read some summary of Shakespeare's Macbeth. This is why I said earlier, it really is best experienced when you are solo and aren't spending time trying to locate your masked friend and decide in silence where you will go next. Their experiences will be different from yours, they will see things you didn't and vise versa. Discussing with you friends after the performance about what the bleep just happened. The music and lighting helped set the mood for what was happening. No complaints with the cast! - The house itself had many different rooms that were all decorated in precise detail. Their timing has to be right on because they will interact with other characters at certain times during the evening. The actors are really in shape and convey emotion really well non verbally. There is a lot of dancing and acrobatic type movement during the performance. Also, for the organization that happens on the front in, very little organization leads to a long line to pick up your coat and leave the building at the end of the night. They know you are confused and try to sell you a book for $20 to "give you all the answers". The less interesting stuff was really drawn out. When the action came, it happened really fast and kept my attention. I found myself being bored watching someone shave and get dressed. Later in the night you will see something and think "I already saw this exact same scene". When you get dropped off, you will NOT be starting at the beginning of the story line. The action loops 2 or 3 times throughout the night. If someone in front of you is slow going up the stairs, you will lose them. If too many people are following them, you don't get to see what is happening. You are literally running all over this house trying to keep up with characters. My wife and I both have our master's degrees and read spark notes on Macbeth ahead of time. Dislikes: - Actors don't speak and it is really difficult to follow the plot. Usually if you stop to read, you lose the character you are trying to follow or lose interest in reading a full page letter written in a hard-to-read cursive handwriting. There are a few obviously placed letters, usually right next to a light source if you have the time to read it. It made it sound almost like a murder mystery which this definitely IS NOT. Another review I read made is seem like you could interact with the set, look in drawers, read letters etc. This is the part that makes following any type of plot or story line really difficult. They are not mute, they do grunt as they are in a struggle with each other or mutter a couple of words really softly. One thing I was really disappointed in that none of the reviews I read mentioned - the actors also do not speak. You can spot who the actors are since they are the only ones without masks. Every patron is required to wear a white mask and not speak during the entire performance. My wife did not want to leave my side, she gets a little scared with the horror themes. They try to purposefully split up your party by the cards they give you and then they drop off people on different floors of the building. all twos or all aces) to go from the bar where everyone starts and into the theater. The only use for this card is that they call you by card number (i.e.

You walk in and are given a playing card. I left thinking that was one big, confusing cluster that only had a couple of redeeming moments. I went in thinking I was really going to like this - a little theater, a little mystery, an intense and immersive environment.
