Review: ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE: HOW SHAKEPSEARE INVENTED THE VILLIAN at Shakespeare Theatre Company
Actor and creator Patrick Page held the audience in the palm of his hand and took the audience (at the Klein Theatre of the Shakespeare Theatre Company) through a veritable “rogues’ gallery” of villains and devious- minded characters from the Shakespearean canon-- including murderers, the revengeful, the cowardly, the hypocritical, the manipulative and the treacherous. The vast array of characters that live in the bleaker recesses of our imagination were vividly portrayed in this ninety-minute penetrating and dramatically performed ode to the illustrious pantheon of perfidy.

Review: LEOPOLDSTADT at Shakespeare Theatre Comany
Leopoldstadt, a weighty and ambitious work by award-winning author Tom Stoppard, is on stage now at the Shakespeare Theatre Company. The modern epic traces a Viennese Jewish family from the zest and promise at the eve of the 20th century, through the devastations of the Great War and the annexation of Austria by the German Reich, to the Holocaust and the tender, broken years after.
