THE GOODMAN THEATRE PRODUCTION OF
HUGHIE
BY EUGENE O’NEILL
DIRECTED BY ROBERT FALLS
STARRING BRIAN DENNEHY WITH JOE GRIFASI

Erie Smith, a small-time gambler, wanders home to a seedy New York hotel fresh from a grief-stricken bout of drinking: Hughie, night clerk and once-captive audience for Erie’s tall tales, has died. Will Erie find in Hughie’s replacement the affirmation and companionship he craves?

One loner seeks solace in another in Eugene O’Neill’s snapshot of two souls on a city’s margins. Brian Dennehy, leading American stage and screen actor (Death of A Salesman, Long Day’s Journey Into Night on Broadway), stars in this play about coming to grips with the past.
