Customer Reviews

One for the ages

I bought the script last month, and now I'm hoping to direct the show in the future. For a playwright that's not a household-name for theatre-fans (yet!) and for a script that I don't think won any awards, Lobby Hero has overcome those odds to become arguably my favorite play. If you think you would like the issue of loyalty versus morality, then I think you would love Lobby Hero. The script is FILLED with ties to that issue, and it's intriguing every bit of the way.

Great 4 Character Drama

The play reads well, and I can imagine it playing even better live. The main character, Jeff, is reminiscent of other characters that Lonergan has written for Mark Ruffalo. Read it, get the rights, do it.
