Back in 2011, a U.K. theater company, Punchdrunk, took New York by storm with “Sleep No More,” an immersive production inspired by “Macbeth” and with nods to Hitchcock films. Over the course of three hours, attendees could roam through a succession of often dimly lit rooms and corridors that had once been nightclub spaces, following a bevy of attractive young performers as they enacted storylines littered with sex and violence — wordlessly, for the most part, with movement and spectacle serving as the primary means of expression.

“Sleep” is scheduled to end its run in September, but those craving more of the above can rest assured: Emursive, the company that brought the show to our country, has just unveiled a largely homegrown follow-up. Titled “Life and Trust” and conceived with the British author Jon Ronson, it slots a bevy of characters modeled after historical figures (noted and obscure) into more than 20 stories, which unfold over six freshly renovated floors of a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district; it’s literally a towering testament to American excess.
