Lobby Hero at The English Theatre of Hamburg

He means well, but… This could very well describe our hero Jeff, a young security guard working the night shift in the lobby of a Manhattan apartment building. One night he learns about the possible cover-up of a criminal investigation involving his black supervisor, William, and a macho cop named Bill who frequently visits a prostitute living in the building. What does Jeff do with the information he’s privy to? Does he keep his mouth shut and let the people involved in the situation work things out? That, as we soon discover, is not one of Jeff’s strong points. In fact, it’s his impulse to get involved and “do the right thing” that gets him into trouble. And it doesn’t help matters that he gets a hopeless crush on Dawn, the cop’s pretty female partner, even though he knows that the two officers are having an affair.

A masterpiece. The best drama, the best comedy, and the best romance of the year, all rolled into one.
