Rehearsal images have been released for the return of American Psycho, which is scheduled to begin performances at the Almeida Theatre in north London this month.<\/p>\n
Adapted from Bret Easton Ellis\u2019 cult novel, American Psycho tells the story of Wall Street trader and self-possessed serial killer Patrick Bateman, who is living the high life in 1980s Manhattan \u2013 buying the most expensive designer clothes, eating at the most exclusive restaurants, partying at the hottest clubs\u2026 and indulging in much darker transgressions privately. It has a book by Robert Aguirre-Sacasa and music and lyrics by Duncan Sheik.<\/p>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\nIt was first seen at the Almeida as Rupert Goold\u2019s first production as artistic director, and will now serve as his final production at the venue early next year (as part of a major season announcement<\/a>).<\/p>\n
Despite being a sell-out, rave-reviewed smash in London (bagging five stars from WhatsOnStage<\/a>) during its initial 2013 spell, the show subsequently transferred to Broadway with less fanfare, closing after 27 previews and 54 performances. The London cast recording has gained a cult following in the last decade.<\/p>\n
