"The Lehman Trilogy" with Simon Rusell Beale, Adam Godley, and Ben Miles.
A production of the play “The Lehman Trilogy” will be broadcast at Guild Hall as part of National Theatre Live on Friday, October 4, at 7 p.m.
Written by Stefano Massini, adapted by Ben Power and directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes, “The Lehman Trilogy” tells the story of a family and a company that changed the world, told in three parts on a single evening.
On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside where he dreams of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers and an American epic begins.
163 years later, the firm they establish — Lehman Brothers — spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, and triggers the largest financial crisis in history.
This critically acclaimed and five-time Olivier Award nominated play stars Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Ben Miles, as the Lehman Brothers, their sons and grandsons. The production features stunning set design from Es Devlin and will be broadcast live from London’s West End as part of National Theatre Live’s 10th Birthday season.
Tickets for the screening of “The Lehman Trilogy” are $18 ($16 members). Guild Hall is located at 158 Main Street, East Hampton. To purchase, call 631-324-4050 or visit Theatermania.com at 1-866-811-4111.
