The Lehman Trilogy Tickets On Sale Now

Following two acclaimed West End seasons and a huge Broadway transfer in 2021, Tony Award-winning historical drama The Lehman Trilogy returns to London for a strictly limited season at the Gillian Lynne Theatre this year. Originally directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (Skyfall), the sprawling, multi-generational story of a family and company that changed the world is “epic in every conceivable way” (New York Post).

About The Lehman Trilogy

In 1844, a young man from Bavaria stepped off a boat and arrived in New York City. His name was Henry Lehman, and he and his brothers began an American dynasty. 163 years later, the firm they founded - Lehman Brothers - collapsed into bankruptcy and triggered the largest financial crisis in history.

Following the triumphs and spectacular decline of one of the world's biggest companies, The Lehman Trilogy is a story of fathers, sons and grandsons who built an American Dream and watched it slip away.

Cast and Creative Team

Playing out in three parts over a single evening, The Lehman Trilogy is written by Italian playwright Stefano Massini and translated into English by Ben Power. Since its world premiere in 2013, this “dazzling piece of storytelling” (Time Out) has played all over the world from Europe to the USA. It was nominated for five Olivier Awards including Best New Play and Best Actor and later transferred to Broadway, where it was awarded Best Play, Best Direction of a Play and Best Actor in a Play at the 2022 Tony Awards.

The show's English-language premiere was originally directed by Sam Mendes, the Academy and Golden Globe Award winner behind American Beauty, Revolutionary Road and Skyfall.

John Heffernan (Nachtland), Aaron Krohn (Spamalot) and Howard W Overshown (A Soldier's Play) will be heading to London, delivering tour-de-force performances as several generations of the same family.
