Lehman Trilogy is a contemporary work written by Italian playwright Stefano Massini that has been staged in theatres across Europe. Actor and director Sergio Peris-Mencheta has written the Spanish version. The story follows three generations of the Lehman family, starting with Henry Lehman, the eldest son of a Jewish cattle merchant. Henry left Bavaria for New York in 1844 in pursuit of the American dream. The play ends with the fall of the financial giant Lehman Brothers in 2008, whose consequences are still with us.
More than 120 characters are played by six musicians-actors who embark on a fascinating and fun journey through the rise and fall of modern capitalism. A sardonic and critical yet educational review of the ups and downs of the modern economy.
