Question

In a play, a man says that this action “knits up the raveled sleave of care” and calls it “chief nourisher in life’s feast.” The film noir-esque McKittrick Hotel provides the setting for a work of immersive theater titled for this action by the company Punchdrunk. While doing this action, a character would “take forth paper, fold it, write upon ’t, (15[1])read it, and afterwards seal it,” according to a Gentlewoman spying with a Doctor of Physic. (15[1])Because he has (*) “murdered” this action, a man hears a voice say that he will do this action “no more.” (10[1])A woman who enters doing this action hallucinates (10[1])a “knocking at the gate” after she deliriously notes, “the Thane of Fife had a wife,” while rubbing her hands together. For 10 points, a guilt-ridden Lady Macbeth (-5[1])exclaims (-5[1])“out, damned spot” while walking and doing what action? (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: sleeping [accept sleepwalking or somnambulating until “walking” is read; accept Sleep No More]
