Hughie

Hughie

Michael R. Klein Theatre
450 7th Street NW Washington

One of O'Neill's later works, Hughie is a commanding study of "Erie" Smith, a man whose illusions of a grand lifestyle are wavering after the death of the stranger who quietly validated his larger-than-life confidence. Erie is searching for a new person to affirm his transparent fantasies or else he will be forced to face his own crushing self-pity. Hughie stands to transfix its audience with the raw force wrought by one of O'Neill's most stirring characters.

Presented by Shakespeare Theatre Company
