For the first time, the epic story of Lehman Brothers unfolds live on the stage. Conceived by the Italian dramatist Stefano Massini,

covers the 163-year history of the infamous financial institution, from its original founding by Bavarian immigrants to its sudden collapse in the financial crisis of 2008. Over three separate acts, the play explores multiple generations of Lehman Brothers patriarchs as they build up a financial giant against the backdrop of the changing American economy — a giant that became synonymous with financial malfeasance.

American Beauty

, took the helm as director. The English language version premiered at the

in July 2018. The West End production received five nominations from the 2019 Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best New Play, Best Director, Best Set Design, Best Sound Design and Best Actor. Following its success in London,
