It’s a Southern story of a family that started with a dry goods store in Alabama and grew to a financial powerhouse.
The Lehman Trilogy weaves together nearly two centuries of family history as this epic theatrical event charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes, and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees. Winner of the 2022 Tony Award® for Best Play. By Stefano Massini. Adapted by Ben Power.
