The McKittrick Hotel, home of the immersive theater spectacle Sleep No More, has extended the New York premiere of the National Theatre of Scotland's The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart once again. The production, which was originally scheduled to close January 29, will now play through March 26. It had previously extended through February 28.

In addition, in celebration of Burns Night on January 25, commemorating the life of poet Robert Burns, The McKittrick Hotel will offer a special package including the traditional Burns Night Supper as well as tickets to The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart.

Created by writer David Greig and director Wils Wilson, with design by Georgia McGuinness, movement by Janice Parker and musical direction by Alasdair Macrae, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart is described as "a transporting, music-filled folk theater fable." The show "unfolds among and around its audience, weaving an ingenious, lyrical and enchanting story told with live music throughout its intimate and supernatural setting."

The production features a full Scottish cast from the National Theatre of Scotland, including Annie Grace, Melody Grove, Peter Hannah, Alasdair Macrae, and Paul McCole.

The McKittrick Hotel's bar and music venue, the Heath, has been transformed into a high-spirited Scottish Pub for the production.
