Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history, this epic theatrical event and New York Times Critics’ pick charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes, and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees. The Lehman Trilogy, “a ticket worth selling your gilt-edged securities for” (New York Times), is the quintessential story of western capitalism, rendered through the lens of a single immigrant family.

The Lehman Trilogy was first commissioned by originating producer Neal Street Productions and developed and co-produced with the National Theatre at the Lyttelton Theatre in 2018, followed by an acclaimed, SRO run at the Park Avenue Armory in 2019, before returning to London for a 16-week sold-out run at the Piccadilly Theatre in the West End. Directed by Academy Award® and Tony Award® winner Sam Mendes, and starring Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley, and Adrian Lester, The Lehman Trilogy is told in three parts presented as one evening in this “extraordinary theatrical experience” (The Daily Telegraph).
