The Lyons by Nicky Silver unfolds in a hospital room where Ben Lyons lies dying while his wife, Rita, plans a living room makeover. When their estranged children arrive, civility collapses and long-buried resentments explode, exposing a family unable (and unwilling) to offer comfort. Darkly funny and brutally honest, the play examines what remains when love has eroded and time has run out.
”Hilariously frank, clear-sighted, compassionate and forgiving…laughter that rises in close and regular waves…Sure, from a distance the title characters of THE LYONS…are hilarious as they kick the ego out of one another. But look at them close—no, closer—and you're likely to find an intimate mirror of your own frightened self…“ —The New York Times
