Why watch The Lehman Trilogy

The Lehman Trilogy dominated Broadway in 2022, scooping up every major award—Best Play, Director, Actor, Set Design, and Lighting at the Tonys. Add to that the Drama League Award for Best Play and a half-dozen Outer Critics Circle wins.

Sam Mendes, the man behind Bond and this Broadway hit, has an Academy Award, four BAFTAs, 2 Directors Guild of America Awards, and 3 Golden Globes on his mantle. The New York Times calls The Lehman Trilogy “genuinely epic and magnificent,” while The Washington Post dubs it a “masterpiece.” Starring the powerhouse trio of John Heffernan, Aaron Krohn, and Howard W. Overshown, this is one performance you can’t afford to miss!

The story

This sprawling saga unfolds in three parts, charting the rise and fall of the Lehman family. From their arrival in America in 1844 to the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the financial meltdown that shook the world, it’s a gripping tale of capitalism’s peaks and pitfalls. From the 19th to the 21st century the play examines the economic structures we have built around us.
