In 2022, Hughes played disability activist Alan Holdsworth in the BBC's Then Barbara Met Alan;[7] The Independent's reviewer said that "Hughes is excellent as the emotionally unstable and tense Holdsworth".[8] In the same year, he took the title role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Richard III,[9][10] The Guardian's reviewer said that "Hughes's Richard is every bit the schemer, dead-eyed and unmoved by the body count he leaves on the way to the throne, but he also has a smarmy mischief about him, delivering news of another dispatched victim in a breezy tone of voice and eking comic asides out of his character's darkness.[11]
