Hailed by The New York Times as “a genuinely epic production,” The Lehman Trilogy played to sold-out houses on Broadway. The story of a family and a company that changed the world, this "peerless production" (New York Magazine) unfolded in three parts over a single evening.
Directed by Academy Award®, Tony Award® and Golden Globe winner Sam Mendes, The Lehman Trilogy starred Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Adrian Lester as the Lehman brothers, their sons, and grandsons.
On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers, and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish – Lehman Brothers – spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history.
The Wall Street Journal cheered, “The Lehman Trilogy surpasses all praise" and The Chicago Tribune called it “a masterwork — far and away the best thing I’ve seen on stage."
