Last weekend,I got a thrilling news was that “Sleep no more” is coming back after pausing for 5 months.

As a loyal fan, I’m so excited to be back to the McKinnon hotel where the show is staged.

Last Sunday, I was invited to experience the first show of reopening.

In the whole process, the audience must wear mask and gloves all the time. No doubt I had to wear one more mask as a part of the show. Double-mask for Double-safe, that was fine!

According the rules, some touch interactions were cancelled，and attendance rate also was limited. The number of People had reduced from 350 to less than 100.Because of that, there was just had an average of three audiences to followed  each performer. So I’ve got a best show-watching experience I’ve ever had before.It was so great!

Interestingly, many health stations had been set up all over the hotel with Dettol and wet tissues for performers. During the showtime，Performers did personal hygiene at random, but they were so smart to do it, just like a part of the story. Such fun!

I’m so happy that theaters and shows come back to my weekend life. Art brings entertainment to everyone, it makes everyone happy, and also gives everyone some reflection.

Last weekend,I got a thrilling piece of news was and that was that “Sleep no more” is coming back after 5 months break.

As a loyal fan, I was so excited to be back to the McKinnon hotel where the show is staged.

Last Sunday, I was invited to attend the first show after the 5 month break.

Throughout the play, the audience had to wear a mask and a pair gloves all the time/at all times. No doubt that I also had to wear one more mask on top of the mask which audience is supposed to wear  as a part of the show. Double-mask, Double safety, that was fine, because of the current situation!

According to the new rules, some of the interactions between performers and the audience which involve physical contact were cancelled，also the allowed number of visitors got limited. The number of People had reduced from 350 to less than 100. Because of that, on average there were three visitors/guests following each performer. So, I got the best show-watching experience I’ve ever had before.  It was so great!

Interestingly, many health stations had been set up all over the hotel with Dettol and wet tissues at performers’ disposal. During the showtime，Performers took care of their personal hygiene at random, but they were so smart to make it look like a part of the story. Such fun!

I’m so pleased that theaters and shows came/returned  back to my weekend life. Art brings entertainment to everyone, it makes everyone happy, and also gives everyone an opportunity to self-reflect.
