Lions
From the creators of Fringe hits like Nosejob, The Appointment (New Yorker Best of 2023) , SPEECH, and Underground Railroad Game (Obie Award), comes an unsentimental two-hander about the business of letting our dads die. With a dose of Kafka and A Christmas Carol, Lions disassembles the myths our fathers told themselves about what it means to be a great man. Enter a world of breathing machines, Christmas ghosts, to-do lists, shirts that smell like grass, and the most romantic disappointments of our fathers lives. Part clown show and part deconstructed eulogy, Lions tries to honor our fathers by not denying them the humanity they could not always offer themselves. A rare show about death that is not about grief, but instead about asking, ‘what does it mean to live a good life.’
