Praise for Lobby Hero : "The combined wit and non-wisdom of these fallible (i.e. human) beings offers a fascinating reflection on those shaky internal compasses we call moral instincts . Mr. Lonergan, you see, doesn't work in bold blacks and whites, but in compelling shades of gray . Like morality, identity is relative in Lobby Hero . Few playwrights match Mr. Lonergan in making confident art out of such constantly shifting uncertainty.
" --Ben Brantley, New York Times "Richly entertaining work from one of the most important American writers working today." --Elysa Gardner, USA Today "This big-hearted four-person masterpiece actually eclipses the high expectations set by [Lonergan's] deservedly lauded previous plays and his Oscar-nominated You Can Count on Me ." --Jason Zinoman, Time Out New York "[ Lobby Hero ] is a smart, funny . drama that derives its strength from Lonergan's keen ear for dialogue.

[He] has the lightest of touches and writes with deft humour." --Michael Billington, Guardian "Mr. Lonergan presents his most ambitious study to date in the damage caused by impure motives.
