Following a sold-out run at the National Theatre and in New York, the NT and Neal Street Productions' critically acclaimed The Lehman Trilogy has transferred to the Piccadilly Theatre.

The story of a family and a company that changed the world, it's told in three parts on a single evening. Sam Mendes 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.

* Ben is performing until 3 August. From 5 August, Dominik Tiefenthaler will play the role of Emanuel Lehman alongside Simon Russell Beale and Adam Godley

The show is on a the Piccadilly Theatre, 16 Denman St, Soho, London W1D 7DY (nearest Tube station: Piccadilly Circus or Train to Charing Cross Station). For bookings of nine or more please contact Group Line on 020 7206 1174.
