The Lehman Trilogy
OFF SALE
March 3 – April 10, 2022
An Epic Portrayal
“A Sam Mendes-directed production of lyrical splendor. One of the finest stagings of his distinguished career. I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a production as well-fitted to the Ahmanson stage as this one.” -- Los Angeles Times
Directed by Academy Award, Tony Award®, and Golden Globe winner Sam Mendes, The Lehman Trilogy is the story of a family and a company that changed the world, told in three parts on a single evening. 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 soon joined by his two brothers, and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, and triggers the largest financial crisis in history.
“The ingenious set by Es Devlin...serves as a metaphor for “the magical music box of America,” whose siren song lured immigrants to pursue a dream of boundless opportunity.” -- Los Angeles Times
“Mesmerizing. Beale, Godley and Overshown wield a powerful incantatory spell.” -- Los Angeles Times
