Patrick Page
Patrick Page, Broadway’s most famous (and favorite) villain joins us On The Couch this week. His solo show All The Devil’s Are Here has now extended twice due to popular demand, which isn’t surprising, considering Page has welcomed certified “Shakespeare-haters”, who have initially been lovingly dragged by a friend, been converted, and subsequently invited everyone they know. It’s an unmissable hit. His charm, wit and undeniable talent has taken him across the world, and we’re excited for what’s to come.
