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…

Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold revisits his ★★★★★ “stunning” (WhatsOnStage) musical, from the composer of Spring Awakening. An Almeida sell-out success, this darkly satirical commentary on capitalism “leaves us all dangerously entertained” (The Guardian).
