“The characters in Nicky Silver's plays tend to be laugh-out-loud funny but also — how shall we put this? — icky.” DARYL H. MILLER, LA Times
“they’re just awful people, those Lyons. They’re whiny, denigrating, vicious, self-centered, recriminatory — the sort of blood kin who can’t cling to one another without drawing blood. And they’re a family that you will really, really want to spend time with”
BEN BRANTLEY The New York Times 
Silver's in top form…As comedy about death, THE LYONS isn't trying to make a case for freshness or formal innovation. It's simply trying tell a funny, furious little tale of family annihilation with honesty, savagery, and humanity, a story about how we all, ultimately, pick out our own urns. It succeeds marvelously." —NY Magazine.
