David Williamson is called 'The Lion' by reporters, business associates, and even his family. The day before going to prison for insider trading, he has one last lunch at his private club, and tries to enjoy a final evening of freedom with his wife Helen. She has lost the strength and love to stand by him, though, and their daughter has a spectacular betrayal in store. Pride of the Lion is a subtle, dramatic triptych about a family slowly destroyed by greed and self-aggrandizement. (Act I of this play can be performed independently as The Lion Eats His Lunch.)
