“It all adds up. This Hughie quietly slides into a deep existential funk that’s pure O’Neill, and the deceptively colorful Schiff expands and takes the space that the bluesy Erie needs — wandering into darkness, exploding in frustration, joshing himself back toward life. The show is short, barely an hour. But it’s a deep, full evening of theater.”
The Washington Post

“[Richard Schiff’s] performance in Hughie at the Shakespeare Theatre Company is a marvel of a study in classic American character acting.  There is something deliciously satisfying about the way this actor communicates with gestures and his body every nuanced thought and emotion.”

“Director Doug Hughes has mined this fifty-minute play and faceted a true gem of a show. With actors Richard Schiff and Randall Newsome, the play’s truths shine through in an unflinching portrayal of our illusions and deepest longings.”
DC Theatre Scene

“★★★★★” “Hughie is a unique and fascinating experience from one of American theater’s greatest playwrights and one of our greatest actors. This production came out of [Richard] Schiff’s desire to tackle the role…We are all lucky he did.”
DC Metro Theater Arts

“[Richard Schiff] delivers the kind of intense performance that leaves you pondering the character for days…Hughie isa testament to the indefinable power of theatricality”
