HUGHIE
April 5 – May 5, 2013
written by Eugene O’Neill directed by Kevin Fox Hotel Night Clerk Hughie is dead. And with him went the luck of small time hustler and longtime hotel guest Erie. In the early morning hours, Erie holds forth in the hotel's lobby, telling stories of his life to a captive audience: Hughie's replacement, Charlie. What starts off as a series of tall tales becomes by turns touching, revealing, and a telling measure of what lies behind any man's delusions.
