2 Matthew Wolf-Meyer notes that the globalized nature of neoliberal capitalism means that Western sleep patterns colonize the working schedules of the rest of the world. ‘Rather than accepting the times and spaces of others’, Wolf-Meyer argues, ‘the United States (especially) and the European Union syncopate the rhythms of other societies to produce global temporal intensities and rests, metonymic coordinations of workers and work, predicated on assumptions of nature’ (2011: 884).
3 This adaptation of Lady Macduff's character speaks to the present-day gendering of sleep access. Williams notes that, in contemporary Britain, ‘unpaid workloads associated with domestic and childcare activities’ form a second shift of labor for mothers, who come to experience what he calls ‘time poverty’ across socio-economic classes (2011: 5–6).
4 Furthermore, access to the ‘service’ of a one-on- one interaction is not evenly or democratically distributed. Harvie claims that interactive performances are often ‘more available to those with existing substantial cultural capital’ (2013: 42), and Zaiontz points out that viewing Punchdrunk's The Drowned Man depends on one being ‘an able-bodied experiencer who requires little onsite assistance’ (2014: 413), an assertion that is also true of Sleep No More.
