Tim and Susie have been seeing each other for nearly three years, but so far Susie has avoided telling Tim anything about the previous men in her life – and she knows very little about his life, either.
After pointing out that Susie is persuasive and competitive, likes being the centre of attention and enjoys taking risks – all characteristics of psychopaths – Tim realises that Susie\u2019s previous partners have lasted for an average of three years; he is very close to his best-before date.
He persuades her to reveal the secrets of her past, but while she does this, it becomes clear that Tim too has many psychopathic qualities.
By the time DI Walsh arrives unexpectedly, both Tim and Susie are becoming concerned about the other\u2019s intentions towards them. Things come to a head\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As the first show I’ve taken part in competitively, I couldn’t have asked to be in a better play than Psychopath! Rehearsals were such a laugh, Brenda’s script was great fun to act from, and getting to perform at the Worcester One Act Play Festival representing TADS was an experience I’ll never forget!” <\/p>Katie Preedy as Susie<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
