WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tony Award-winning actor Brian Dennehy stars in a double-bill at Trinity Rep. After the one-act curtain riser - Sean O'Casey's comedy A Pound on Demand - comes Eugene O'Neill's Hughie. An hour-long, two-character gem that has showcased the talents of such actors as Jason Robards and Al Pacino, Hughie has been praised by the New York Times as "a full, richly eccentric and satisfying evening of theater." Presented in the Dowling Theater. Catherine Baker Steindler directs.

It's a bit of a tease, and ultimately a bad idea, for Trinity Rep to preface Eugene O'Neill's masterful character study Hughie with a broad skit by Sean O'Casey. As an amuse-bouche, A Pound on Demand is not very amusing. It suffers from Harvey syndrome; i.e., stumblebum drunks ceased being uproarious a good half-century ago. The audience has come to see Brian Dennehy tackle the monumental role of Erie Smith in Hughie. (The actor's last O'Neill outing, the 2003 Broadway production of Long Day's Journey into Night, earned him a Tony Award.) A Pound on Demand , appended as filler at Dennehy's suggestion, just delays the proceedings by a tedious half-hour.
