Adapted from the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho centres on Patrick Bateman (played by Arty Froushan), a 1980s Wall Street banker who is obsessed with his image. However, beneath his "perfect" exterior with a good status, wealth, and a glamorous fiancée, he hides a secretly violent and psychopathic life.

The production made its debut at the Almeida Theatre in December 2013, where it played to audience and critical acclaim.
