THE LEHMAN TRILOGY
San Francisco’s A.C.T. theatre presents the award-winning play “The Lehman Trilogy,” a historical drama depicting the rise and fall of the Lehman Brothers firm. This critically acclaimed production, directed by Sam Mendes, follows the Lehman family across five generations, starting with their humble beginnings as immigrants in 1844 and culminating in the spectacular collapse of their financial empire in 2008.
The play unfolds in three parts over a single evening, showcasing the extraordinary journey of a family and a company that left an indelible mark on the world. Through the lens of the Lehmans’ experiences, the audience witnesses the evolution of American finance, the pursuit of the American dream, and the devastating consequences of ambition unchecked.
“The Lehman Trilogy” is a captivating exploration of family legacy, the allure of power, and the fragility of financial stability. Its arrival in San Francisco, following sold-out runs in London and on Broadway, promises a powerful and thought-provoking theatrical experience.
