as well,” Beckers said.
B ill and Dawn also find them selves
entrenched in the ease of William’s brother,
and Dawn in particular seeks to pry details
out of Jeff who has been nonchalantly fed
information via William. This is only one
of numerous instances where Jeff is faced
with doing the right thing, however you;
interpret h is situation. He m ay either
inform the police o f any and all truth
concerning W illiam ’s brother, or he can
keep his m outh shut in order to save , the
brother should he be innocent.
As a whole, “ Lobby Hero” is a wonderful
performance with a solid cast and crew.
The dialogue is hilarious at tim es and
seriously thought-provoking in others/
the characters are wonderful and multi
dimensional and four actors fit the narrative
perfectly. James Eikrem keeps his streak of
solid performances alive and well with this
installation.
