Lions
“I hope this show about dead dads has a long life beyond this year’s festival”— ALAINA JOHNS, BROAD STREET REVIEW
ABOUT THE SHOW
Scott’s Role - Co-Writer/Performer
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 show about death that is not about grief, but instead asks, ‘What does it mean to live a good life?’
