THE LYONS

Written by Nicky Silver
Directed by Mark Brokaw
With Michael Esper, Kate Jennings Grant, Dick Latessa, Linda Lavin, Brenda Pressley, Gregory Wooddell

Ben Lyons is dying. When his wife, Rita, and grown children gather to say goodbye, they learn that, despite being a family, each of them is utterly isolated. Afraid of closeness and afraid of solitude, they are propelled into foreign territory — human connection.
