Al Pacino on Hughie Part 1 and 2




Update:  And a different approach

Twice since yesterday,  I've watched the production, at the link, of Hughie with Andrew Schlessinger as the most believable Erie Smith I've ever seen or imagined and Joe Hulser as the night clerk. Though I've got to feel sorry for Hulser, they having cut the night clerk's speeches, mostly out, it does make it quite effective.   It is a fine piece of work and just what I needed to get out of the enhanced depression of The Iceman Cometh.   I hereby swear I will never read Eugene O'Neill while depressed, ever again.   Wallowing in despair is irresponsible, not a right.   It's anti-liberal.
