Synopsis:

Belfast Blues is a one-woman tapestry of stories told from Hughes' perspective as a little girl coming of age in the war-torn Belfast of the 1980s. Passionate, riveting, often humorous, these stories bear insightful witness to the many faces of "trying to live a normal life" amidst the violence born of the longstanding grudge between Catholics and Protestants. Fresh as dew-drenched shamrocks on an Irish morning, Hughes story is lively with family, neighbors, youngsters and oldsters, a Brit soldier or two, illumined with the light of transcendent humanity while locked in a chain of fraternal enmity reaching all the way back to Cain and Abel. Hope and humor invigorate Hughes' story and her life making this play a rare combination of insight, awareness and artistry.
