Almeida Theatre’s revival of Rupert Goold’s musical American Psycho has found its cast ahead of its launch this month.
Emily Barber (as Evelyn Williams), Daniel Bravo (Paul Owen), Jack Butterworth (Craig McDermott), Hannah Yun Chamberlain (Christine/ensemble), Arty Froushan (Patrick Bateman), Oli Higginson (Timothy Price), Kim Ismay (Mrs Bateman), Alex James-Hatton (Sean Bateman), Liz Kamille (ensemble), Anastasia Martin (Jean), Millie Mayhew (Sabrina/ensemble), Posi Morakinyo (David Van Patten), Joseph Mydell (Detective Kimble), Asha Parker-Wallace (Victoria/ensemble), Tanisha Spring (Courtney Lawrence), Samuel J Weir (swing) and Zheng Xi Yong (Luis Carruthers) will all appear in the show, which is based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory.
Patrick Bateman has it all – looks, money, style and status. Engaged to the beautiful Evelyn Williams, he is about to win the prestigious Fischer account for his investment bank and celebrate by dining at Dorsia. But there’s another side to his life that Patrick keeps secret. And people – including those closest to him – keep disappearing…
Featuring a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and music and lyrics from Spring Awakening composer Duncan Sheik, Goold revisits this darkly satirical commentary on capitalism for his final production as Almeida artistic director.
The creative team also includes choreographer Lynne Page, set designer Es Devlin, costume designer Katrina Lindsay, lighting designer Jon Clark, sound designer Dan Moses Schreier, video designer Finn Ross, music supervisor David Shrubsole, musical director Ellen Campbell and casting directors Natalie Gallacher for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher Casting.
American Psycho is supported by Dianne Roberts and The Charlotte Aitken Trust. The original production was presented by the Almeida Theare in association with Act 4 and Headlong.
The production opens on Friday, January 30, 2026, with previews from Thursday, January 22, and runs until Saturday, March 14, 2026. Tickets here.
