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. 

Three things to know 

All the Devils Are Here became the second-highest rated show in New York City (after Hamilton) during its 2023 off-Broadway run, which was extended multiple times due to popular demand. 

Patrick Page has embodied numerous villains in his illustrious career, including Hades in Hadestown, the Green Goblin in Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, Scar in The Lion King, the Grinch in Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and more. 

After every show, Page has a conversation with the audience to unpack the play and discuss what they’ve learned, almost as if the audience is his acting partner.

Themes

  • This show invites us to consider how stage villains can reflect aspects of ourselves. Is there a character you enjoy or identify with that is viewed as a villain? If so, what is it about the character that connects with you? And do you agree that this character is in fact a villain? 
  • Actor Patrick Page delves deeply into a series of characters all created by the same author. Who is another author (or creator in general) whose work you’d like to see explored like this?
