Mesa Community
College Theatre & Film Arts presents National Theatre Live’s broadcast of
The Lehman Trilogy.
The
story of a family and a company that changed the world, told in three parts on
a single evening.
Academy
Award-winner Sam Mendes (Skyfall,
The Ferryman) directs Simon
Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Ben Miles who play the
Lehman Brothers, their sons and grandsons.
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.
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 features
stunning set design from Es Devlin (NT Live: Hamlet) and will be
broadcast live from London’s West End as part of National Theatre Live’s 10th
Birthday season.
