The Lehman Trilogy

The Lehman Trilogy is a play tracing the 163-year history of the Lehman Brothers firm, from its 1844 founding by German immigrant Henry Lehman as a dry goods store in Alabama to its eventual collapse. It's a three-act drama, originally written in Italian, exploring themes of capitalism, migration, and the American dream through the lens of a single family across generations. Rubicon Theatre Company in Ventura is presenting this matinee performance on Saturday, May 22, 2027. The play is often staged with a minimalist set, relying heavily on the actors to embody the various characters and narrate the story directly to the audience. It’s a good fit for those interested in historical dramas and character-driven theatrical experiences.
