“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
“Mr. Lonergan presents his most ambitious study to date in the damage caused by impure motives. . . . Mr. Lonergan’s dialogue achieves wit through acute observation. . . . fine and original.” —The New York Times
“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 tender but unsentimental, amiable yet never cute, psychologically generous but lean and disciplined. . . . [A]n unexpected morality play that never hits anyone over the head with truths about truths.” —Linda Winer, Newsday
“[Lonergan] artfully intertwines private and public issues. . . . [He] has the lightest of touches and writes with deft humour.” —Michael Billington, The Guardian
“Outstanding new play . . . Delightfully funny and touching.” —Daily Telegraph
“Fascinating comedy.” —Evening Standard
“Superb . . . Brilliant . . . Blissful comic writing.” —Daily Mail
