The Lehman Trilogy

Why see The Lehman Trilogy?

local premiere

Praised for its riveting portrayal of a thoroughly American scandal, The Lehman Trilogy has drawn much critical acclaim. After enjoying a limited Broadway run, which received five Tony Awards including Best Play, don't miss this local Premiere! Charting the rise, and fall, of one of America's most powerful families, this dramatic epic is sure to leave you on the edge of your seat!

Chronicling the rise and fall of the immigrant Lehman family, from their small beginnings in a fabric shop in the mid-1800s to power players who shaped the history of Western capitalism and American politics as we know it. 

Adapted from the work of Italian playwright Stefano Massini by up-and-coming British dramaturg Ben Power, the 150-year and three-hour spanning epic never lets up in pace, energy, action, and intrigue.

What is the story?

Whilst it can be seen as a historical saga about the fortunes and eventual failure of a powerful Jewish immigrant family, or even a searing study/warning about the shifting nature and fragility of the American Dream, The Lehman Trilogy shies away from lecturing the audience and uses a minimalist style and elegant set design to keep its focus on adroit story-telling. Highlighting three distinct periods from the Lehman's illustrious lineage, the production begins in Alabama, where the original brothers begin their rapid ascent into the annals of American history. The drama then moves to the 1960s, where a shift in the family dynamic to include a trading division of outsiders causes a rift that leads to an explosive demise that still echoes throughout the present day.

Winner takes all, and all are winners!

This is the work of theatre lovers FOR theatre lovers. The three actors are superb, and the audience is the biggest winner. It’s a marathon three and a half hours and not a dull moment. With the workout these Iron Men breeze through, it’s no wonder one of the understudies had to step in for a regular. Even with book in hand for only the third act, the performances made overlooking it easy to do. Gorgeous use of the space and sound elevated an experience you should not miss. ... Read more

Compelling night of theater

It’s just a three-man show, but the performances are terrific, especially by old Shakespeare favorite Ed Gero. Three hours (with two intermission's) is a long evening, but it’s compelling throughout, and the script is very well written. Stimulating contemporary drama with messages that resonate after the show. One of the best external shows imported by Simon Godwin. ... Read more
