“Hughes injected a passion and sense of determination into his character that made the little hairs on the back of the head stand straight up.”
“The highlight of the show, however, is Douglas E. Hughes as the first hunter – strong, slow, unruffled, utterly impervious to the self-important airs of his self-proclaimed superiors.”
“Douglas E. Hughes is a magnificent Alfie and reason enough to go see this production. His craggy face houses the saddest of eyes and the most hopeful of smiles. The combination is devastating.”
“Hughes gives what is perhaps his best-ever performance. He makes Alfie’s humility and pain so real your eyes constantly well up in sympathy for him.”
