Dubbed “The villain of Broadway” by Playbill, Patrick Page has never shied away from exploring his dark side. Now, with this tour de force show, he turns his attention to the twisted motivation and hidden humanity at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest villains. Moving swiftly through the Shakespeare canon, Page illuminates the playwright’s ever-evolving conception of evil by delving into more than a dozen of his most wicked creations. Thrilling, biting, hilarious, and enlightening, what Page delivers is a masterclass on the most terrifying subject of them all: human nature.  

Created and performed by Patrick Page and directed by Simon Godwin, the fullness of Shakespeare is brought to life in this dynamic, contemporary, and accessible take on Shakespeare’s villains. An evening of mesmerizing artistry, powerful storytelling, and a rare intimacy that will redefine your perception of Shakespeare’s infamous characters.
