The Lehman Trilogy
Now playing Gillian Lynne Theatre
WINNER 5 TONY AWARDS® INCLUDING BEST PLAY
The landmark National Theatre and Neal Street production of The Lehman Trilogy, directed by Academy Award, Tony Award and Golden Globe winner Sam Mendes, is now playing a limited encore season at the Gillian Lynne Theatre.
John Heffernan, Aaron Krohn and Howard W. Overshown are ‘virtuosic’ (The Times) as the Lehman brothers, their sons and grandsons in this sweeping story of a family spanning generations and a company that changed the world. Hailed by The New York Times as ‘a genuinely epic production’, The Lehman Trilogy is ‘storytelling at its finest’ (The New Statesman).
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.
Strictly limited season at the Gillian Lynne Theatre must end 5 January
