Punchdrunk, the internationally-acclaimed theatre company who pioneered the breakthrough of immersive theatre in the UK, are returning to London for the first time since 2014. Following a break from the capital, with sell-out international productions and their award-winning foray into TV, with The Third Day, the company are back in their home city to premiere their first major new show since The Drowned Man.  

Sleep No More turns four years old this December, which is a huge moment for Punchdrunk. The show is the second-longest running show in Shanghai theatre history, surpassing The Lion King. It is also the fastest selling theatrical production in the city. 

Punchdrunk had announced The Punchdrunk Encyclopaedia, the definitive book on the company's work to date, which will be released to mark eighteen years of Punchdrunk's existence. Written by Jo Machon along with the Punchdrunk team and published by Routledge, it will provide the first full-scale, historical account of one of the world's foremost theatre companies, drawn from the collective memory and archives of the core creative team past and present.
