I will be in town and thinking about catching a late Sat show..
Is it worth catching? If I am not a Shakespeare fan?

Shakespeare is the connection but NOT the thing itself.

Yes, definitely worth seeing. You don't really have to like Shakespeare to like Sleep No More, although understanding the basic plot of Macbeth helps. Even if you don't like the story of Macbeth you will find it worth it just to be able to explore the world they have set up. The variety of rooms and hallways and everything they've put together for the show is astounding. If you have a chance to see it, go.

Don't forget the Hitchcock element too. Just sayin'.

Read:

Macbeth Plot Summary (Acts 1 and 2)
Macbeth Plot Summary (Acts 3, 4 and 5)
Metaphors in Macbeth (Biblical)

And you will be decently equipped. But if the two epic threads on this topic haven't convinced you it's worth it, maybe you won't like it and shouldn't go.
