The Lehman Trilogy is back in the West End for a strictly limited run at the Gillian Lynne Theatre.

The epic story begins in 1844 on a cold New York dockside, and follows the dreams of a young Bavarian man and his two brothers, plus their later sons and grandsons, and their struggles to establish a company that went on to change the world.

The Lehman Brothers' financial collapse

The investment bank they helped to create was Lehman Brothers, and the sprawling story is told in three parts across three different generations, from the family's immigrant beginnings to the company's spectacular collapse 163 years later.

When America's subprime mortgage crisis hit in 2008 the company was forced into bankruptcy, triggering a financial crisis that affected the entire global economy. With over $600 billion in assets it remains the largest bankruptcy ever filed in the US.

Winner of five Tony Awards on Broadway

Following its critically acclaimed run at the National Theatre, San Francisco and Broadway, the play picked up five Tony Awards including 'Best Play', 'Best Director', 'Best Set Design', 'Best Lighting Design' and 'Best Actor'.

Sam Mendes is one of the most successful directors in the world, picking up a Tony Award, Academy Award, three Golden Globes and four BAFTAs.

What the theatre critics say...

The Telegraph: ★★★★★ "A masterwork and a must-see"; Washington Post: "A masterpiece. So theatrical and transporting, it surpasses all praise"; New York Times: "A genuinely epic production"
