Lobby Hero: Drama, Comedy and Romance Mix in Lonergan's Play
- Full Price:
- $18.00
- Our Price:
- $9.00
Hailed by Time Out New York as "a masterpiece" and nominated for a 2001 Drama Desk Award for Best Play, Lobby Hero finds drama, comedy and romance colliding in the lobby of a Manhattan high-rise apartment building. Written by Kenneth Lonergan (You Can Count on Me, This is Our Youth), the play follows ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances, as hapless security guard Jeff gets caught up in a power struggle between his boss and two police officers investigating a murder. Jeff's boss, William, runs a tight ship, strictly upholding the laws and ethics of the building. But when William is suddenly called to bear witness against his troubled brother, the local cops and apartment occupants intertwine while an attractive rookie cop must stand up to her seasoned partner. Truth becomes elusive and justice proves costly. Christine Macedo directs this production for the Red Brick Road Theatre Company. Learn More

Felix is a talented guy and this play more than shows that. While some characters worked better than others and there was a tech snafu here and there, this is a very solid evening of performance that's very entertaining and inventive. I recommend it highly.Written on Jul 05 2010

More Information About This Way to Your Ritual Lobotomy
Description
This new solo play (Felix Pire’s third full length solo performance work) brings together the L.A. Ovation and New York Outer Critics Circle Award winning team of Pire and Reyes in a brand new show that travels three thousand years into the future!
Taking us on a “hologram” tour of sad human characters of the “past”, a futuristic priest creates a “techno-ritual” through the use of multi-media projections and character transformations, that explains to us what humans “used to be like in the past” before the compulsory ritual lobotomy you will receive...
The future is Orwellian, satirically funny and deadly, as Reyes depicts it… The world is run by an authoritarian Big Brother-like dictatorship, headed off by the descendants of Elian Gonzalez (the Cuban boy at the center of the internationally news-making, heated custody and immigration battle in 2000 involving Cuba and United States).
A few world wars later, humanity has entered its inevitable cybernetic future, where you must participate in this theatrical experience as part of having your intuitive frontal lobe removed.
Only through your ritual lobotomy will you reach a state of “Infantilism”, a feeling of total childlike bliss (which doesn’t require thinking), consecrated by the motto of the future: “Don’t worry, be happy.”
