Taking to Bobik’s with a new performance for 2022, Cheish Merryweather’s ‘Serial Killers and Psychopaths Night’ proved an excellent companion piece for anyone interested in the psychological makeup of a psychopath.
Devised as an interactive presentation (part quiz, part psychopath test, part video footage and part PowerPoint), Merryweather’s skill was not just as a curator in the hours and hours of research that the show must have taken, but also in her ability to piece tales of serial killings together in an easy to follow collective that was more educational than it was frightening.
Using a warm delivery style to tell interesting stories about unpleasant tales of deception and murder, as well as employing good tasted humour to take the sting out of difficult subjects, Merryweather was both interested and interesting during the two-hour show, proving that often it’s the people you would least expect.
