LAST CHANCE

“Belfast Blues”: Writer-performer Geraldine Hughes delights with her autobiographical reverie, drawing from vast resources of humor and character to create a free-form collage whose restraint doubles its impact. In this most elegant of solo performances, Hughes eschews the obvious and reveals a mint-fresh voice in her account of growing up in strife-torn Belfast in the 1980s and the American “fillum” role that changed her life. Her technique -- juggling multiple personas between stylized aspects of herself -- is immaculate. Director Charles Haid and an ace design effort frame this breakout talent with sleek expertise.
