131. Bonus episode: The cast of American Psycho let us into the rehearsal room

Editor-in-chief Alex Wood is heading back to the 1980s – well, a very specific, very sharp, and very bloody version of them. We’re talking about the highly anticipated revival of American Psycho at the Almeida Theatre. Based on the cult-classic novel by Bret Easton Ellis, with a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and a synth-heavy score by Duncan Sheik, this production marks a significant moment for London theatre. It is the final production from Rupert Goold in his tenure as the Almeida’s Artistic Director, revisiting the darkly satirical world of Wall Street that he first brought to life on this stage over a decade ago. We chat to Patrick Bateman himself, returning to the Almeida after The Line of Beauty, Arty Froushan, as well as Emily Barber, Zheng Xi Yong, Daniel Bravo, Tanisha Spring and Oli Higginson.
