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.
164 years later, the firm they establish - Lehman Brothers - spectacularly collapses triggering the largest financial crisis in history.
The story of a family and a company that changed the world, Ben Power's English-language adaptation of Stefano Massini's vast and poetic play The Lehman Trilogy premiered at the National Theatre, London, in July 2018.
