Ian Pettitt

STUNNING - direction, acting, staging & lighting all 5* but can’t say I really like the characters or ethos.Read more →

Laura Price

Storytelling at its best. A real acting master class from the most amazing cast!Read more →

Bilkisu Zhang

It’s a masterpiece in acting, so difficult to do, so many lines and characters by only 3 men in such a fast pace. Amazing staging as well. It’s ambitious to put 200 years of history in a radio play onto stage.Read more →

Craig Bird

Superbly performed, stunningly staged and constantly compelling.Read more →

Henry Day

A century-spanning masterclass (even if it did dodge the complexities of Lehman’s eventual collapse). Simon Russell Beale extraordinary as always.Read more →

Lee Guy

Just brilliant. Fantastic acting, great set and a fascinating (real) story. Not technical just interestingRead more →

Kevin Lloyd

Wonderfully performed, fabulous staging and excellent writing that keeps the narrative pace right up. That said, this does have the feel of a drama documentary in which the characters are first and indeed last historical figures - not means of exploring an issue through dialogue and interaction. The one truly meta passage involving a rather splendid version of the twist is perhaps an indication of a more impressionistic approach that might have paid greater dividends.Read more →

Overall, this is a world class theatre experience. The performances are amazing! It’s well known that they are all superb actors and they only enhanced their superb reputations with the quality of their performances. The play is lively and entertaining too. A great night 🤩Read more →

Saw at National. Loved the acting esp Simon Russel Beale and was engrossing. Pretty long evening. Enjoyed first two parts more than the last.Read more →

A fascinating plot, catchy storytelling with some very witty moments and excellent acting make this show pure bliss. 3 actors constantly on stage tell the story of Lehman brothers from 1843 when the first brother arrived in the US till the default of 2008. They jump in and out of various characters switching gender and age seamlessly. A huge screen as big as the scene sets the mood and a piano accompanies the audience on this amazing journey. The 3rd act is a bit worse than the previous 2 as it covers double the time and doesn't develop as well the storyline. Compelling from start to finish.Read more →
