Remember that part of Sleep No More where you dance with one of the actresses, she leads you out of the room, asks you to wait, and then pulls you into her boudoir, where she touches you face, removes your mask and gives you a tiny potion to sip? And then while continuing to hold your face, asks you if you are willing to do her a favor? And you’ve only been inside the performance for 20 minutes and you’re all like, “oh wait, am I going to be put in these erotically charged situations all night?” And when you agree she gives you a note to bring to “the man in the tailor shop” and that she “knows [she] can count on you” and dispatches you with a kiss on the mask ? And when you hustle back to the tailor shop you encounter a dude in convulsions on the floor of the hall, who then does some weird parkour style shit, and you’re not sure if he was the tailor or not? And when you get to the tailor a LADY is working there instead, and you pass her the note and she shakes her head no? And then in despair, you wander around some more and get half-heartedly caught up in some mob-chasing of another actress through the building that feel uncomfortable rapey? And then you work your way back to the tailor shop, find the actual tailor-guy, hand him the note and he, too, shakes his head? And then you are like “I must have totally fucked up that quest somehow” and “maybe that actress actually would have bone me if I had been a little saucier with my responses” and “I thought i could be counted on”? And then you wander around, see some murders, leave, get on the subway, and then up at karaoke with mostly people you’ve not met, wearing your creep mask and sing “Common People” and drink jager shots? And then go to work in the morning, and even after showering, still smell that perfume on you like Lady Macbeth’s bloody hands?

What was in that potion?
