Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold’s production of American Psycho, based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis just celebrate dits opening night.

Bateman’s raison d’être is unnerving to begin with. Once you combine this archetypal psychopath with a jaunty synth-heavy score and a glitzy choreo, watching our executioner dance maniacally with a cleaver becomes a spectacle in itself.
