CULTS packs an impressive amount of research, dark humour and truly bizarre cult history into an hour, with plenty here for true-crime fans to sink their teeth into. For me, though, the performance relied too heavily on the written script, which made parts of the show feel more like a lecture than live storytelling. I kept wishing for more eye contact, spontaneity and room for the performer’s personality to come through, because the material itself is fascinating. If cult psychology and strange history are already your thing, you may get much more out of this one than I did.
