Carole Kane directs Geraldine Hughes in Belfast Blues at SUNY-New Paltz this weekend

What’s particularly intriguing about this production of Belfast Blues is the director: the iconic character actress Carol Kane. TV fans know her as Simka on Taxi and as Lillian on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; moviegoers may recall her Oscar-nominated starring role in Hester Street or her smaller parts in Annie Hall or Dog Day Afternoon, or her unforgettable turn as Valerie, the wildhaired, wild-eyed harridan wife of Billy Crystal’s Miracle Max in The Princess Bride.
