The Lehman Trilogy

A Canadian Stage Production

Written by Stefano Massini

Adapted by Ben Power

Directed by Philip Akin

A family and a company that changed the world

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 and triggers the largest financial crisis in history.

Featuring a cast of three playing the Lehman brothers, their sons and grandsons in an extraordinary feat of storytelling told in three parts on a single evening.

Genuinely epic... Behold it with wonder – The New York Times
Its theatricality is utterly astonishing – The Guardian
