Third Rail Presents National Theatre Live!: The Lehman Trilogy

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.

Third Rail's Hi-Definition, National Theatre Live programming features screenings of amazing productions from the National Theatre, supporting their groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British Theatre from the London stage to cinemas across the U.K. and around the world.
