SUMMARY:The Lehman Trilogy with TimeLine Theatre Company at Broadway Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:TimeLine presents the Chicago premiere production of the 2022 Tony Award winner for Best Play! \nTold in three parts over one evening\, The Lehman Trilogy is the quintessential story of western capitalism\, rendered through the lens of a single immigrant family. On a cold September morning in 1844\, a young Jewish man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is soon joined by his two brothers\, and an American epic begins. 163 years later\, the firm they establish—Lehman Brothers—spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy\, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history\, this theatrical event charts the humble beginnings\, outrageous successes\, and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees. \nThroughout its production history\, The Lehman Trilogy has been met with extraordinary international acclaim. The Guardian proclaimed the original production “a kaleidoscopic social and political metaphor” and “an intimate epic about the shifting definition of the American Dream.” The Chicago Tribune praised it as “a masterwork” and The New York Times as “a vivid tale of profit and pain.” Vanity Fair raved that it is “true blockbuster theatre that will hold you captive until the final curtain call\,” with Time Out New York saying “it leaves you dazzled.” And the Wall Street Journal declared that The Lehman Trilogy “surpasses all praise.” \nFor more information on access programming at Broadway in Chicago visit https://www.broadwayinchicago.com/tickets/accessible-information/ \nAccessibility: ASL interpretation \nhttps://www.broadwayinchicago.com/show/the-lehman-trilogy/
