"Hughie" (8/23/08) by Eugene O'Neill and starring Brian Dennehy is the first half of a double bill at the Studio Theater (the second half being Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape"). I saw Mr. Dennehy in "Hughie" at the Goodman Theatre a few years back (also directed by Robert Falls), and his performance struck me as deeper and more desperate, which may be attributable to the space; the Goodman is a barn compared to Stratford's intimate Studio Theatre. Kudos must go to Joe Grifasi, who is magnetic as the night clerk.Rating: **** (out of *****)
