Exploring the politics of two very different worlds, both of which are hidden from the general public, the Lantern Theatre Liverpool will be hosting Red Ladder Theatre Company’s The Thing About Psychopaths on Saturday 4th May, a new play by Scottish-Ghanaian writer Ben Tagoe (B.B.C. Writers Academy), the show is a searing, funny and thought-provoking new play about power and empathy in modern Britain.
Noel is a trader, working for one of the country’s leading financial organisations. He’s worked hard to get there and he wants to reach the top. When Ray, a senior employee at the firm, approaches him with a proposition, nothing illegal, but something that bends the rules, he can see that he’d be stupid not to take the opportunity to climb the ladder.
