The Lyons, Family Drama Starring Linda Lavin and Dick Latessa, Begins Off-Broadway Performances

After a one-day delay, performances begin on September 22 for the world premiere of Nicky Silver's play The Lyons at off-Broadway's Vineyard Theatre. Starring Linda Lavin and Dick Latessa and directed by Mark Brokaw, the family drama is set to officially open on October 11.

The Lyons follows a family grappling with the death of its patriarch. When Rita (Lavin), the wife of Ben Lyons (Latessa), and their grown children gather to say goodbye, they learn that despite being a family, each of them is utterly isolated. Ben’s death may be a catalyst that propels them into foreign territory—human connection.

The cast also features Michael Esper, Kate Jennings Grant, Brenda Pressley and Gregory Wooddell.
