Brian Dennehy was great in both, but you have to wonder why he bothered. I'd rather see him in a full length play, rather than an actor's exercise.
Hughie is interesting as a portrayal of a type of man, from a particular time and place in America. Sad, but ultimately not someone you are interested in knowing.
Krapp's Last Tape confirmed my suspicion that Beckett is an auther with no clothes. I'm not waiting for Godot any more and I don't want to hear any of Krapp's tapes.
Yes, I look forward to seeing Dennehy in something more interesting. He was okay in All's Well, but Shakespeare is clearly not his forte (at least yet).
