The Lyons

In this savagely funny dark comedy, playwright Nicky Silver invites you to meet the Lyons, a hilariously dysfunctional Jewish family. Patriarch Ben is dying of cancer in a hospital room. His wife, Rita, is already making plans to redecorate their house. Their two children are Lisa, a divorced mother of two and a recovering alcoholic, and Curtis, a gay short story writer with a boyfriend no one in the family has ever met. When they all collide together as they wait for Ben to die, each member of the family finds their own ways to search for human connection.
