An artful exploration of evil
Shakespeare’s greatest villains — Richard III, Lady Macbeth, Claudius and more — have captivated and tormented audiences for centuries. After decades of embodying the likes of Hades, Scar and the Green Goblin, acclaimed actor Patrick Page continues to be drawn to the layered motivations and complex psyches of these infamous evildoers. In this chilling and compelling solo show, Page sheds the skin of one character as he jumps into the next while exploring how each villain is a window into the depths of the human heart. He concludes by prompting the audience with an even darker reflection: to confront and accept the trappings of evil inside us all.
