Brian Dennehy and Joe Grifasi to Star in Long Wharf’s Hughie
Brian Dennehy and Joe Grifasi will star in the Long Wharf Theatre’s production of Hughie by Eugene O’Neill, to run October 8-November 9. The show, which premiered at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, is directed by Tony Award winner Robert Falls.
The show involves a small-time gambler who wanders into a seedy New York hotel fresh from a grief-stricken bout of drinking, and pours out his soul to the hotel’s new night clerk.
The production will be followed by the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel’s A Civil War Christmas, November 26-December 21; Athol Fugard’s newest work, Coming Home, January 14 through February 8; the American premiere of Scarborough, by Fiona Evans, February 18-March 22; and The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway and adapted by Eric Ting, April 1-26. For the final production of the season, Gordon Edelstein will direct two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey as Amanda Wingfield in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, May 13-June 7.
