Attorney Jack Rice Inspired by Shakespeare and Patrick Page's "All the Devils are Here" at The Guthrie
As a criminal defense attorney, I am constantly reminded of the complex interplay between good and evil that defines our lives and the legal world. After all, this is so much of what I do everyday. Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a captivating one-man play, "All the Devils are Here," written and performed by the talented Patrick Page at The Guthrie in downtown Minneapolis. This thought-provoking performance delves into the essence of Shakespeare's portrayal of villains, exploring how the Bard ingeniously shaped our understanding of evil between 1590 and 1611. I highly recommend it.
“Sitting in the front row at the Guthrie watching this master work his craft, I was truly and honestly inspired. I laughed. I cried. I was scared. It was awesome.”
The play presents a powerful reflection on morality, showcasing the intricate tensions that exist between right and wrong. Watching Page embody these themes left me both inspired and contemplative, as I realized how closely they resonate with the challenges faced by individuals embroiled in the criminal justice system. Shakespeare's villains, often multi-dimensional, serve as a reminder that good and evil are not always easily delineated—a perspective that is equally crucial in my work as a defense attorney.
Every case I encounter presents a unique narrative, much like the characters that populate Shakespeare’s plays. Individuals facing serious criminal charges often find themselves wrestling with their own moral compasses, their lives hanging in the balance as they navigate the complexities of the legal system. It is imperative to understand that everyone has a story, and every story deserves to be heard with compassion and respect.
