Written by Nicky Silver and directed by Mark Brokaw, THE LYONS is produced on Broadway by Kathleen K. Johnson. THE LYONS is a funny and edgy work starring Linda Lavin as Rita Lyons, the indomitable matriarch of a family at a major crossroads: her husband is dying, her son's in a dubious relationship, her daughter's struggling to stay sober and on top of it all, she can't settle on a new design for the living room.
