Superb. Absolutely flew by despite it being a long run time.Read more →

Ingenious staging and skilled performances engage for first part, but the story runs out of steam - 2008 is barely touched on let alone examined, ending the evening on a curiously blank anticlimax.Read more →

Fantastic scenery. Very long. Too long. Liked the dialog. Worked very well to tell the story. Was expecting a story about greed leading to the collapse but 1928 to 2008 (3rd act) was done in such a rush that the story to me fell apart. Had Enron in the back of my head and it never reached the same level of criticism and explaining predatory capitalism.Read more →

The play paints a vivid picture of the origins of our financial system from its roots in (Alabama😉) the past, through to the present. The storytelling is magnificent with a seamless blend of humour, drama and tragedy. The actors give fantastic performances switching seamlessly between characters and accents as they move from one era to the next. Overall, immensely engaging, enjoyable and thought provoking. #mustseeRead more →

Three men. One revolving stage and yet you feel transported through a million periods and see a thousand faces. Epic show, and an absolute must see.Read more →

If you’re a lover of theatre, just go watch and marvel at the mastery that is on display here. Indeed, once is probably not enough, there’s just so much to take in! Sam Mendes’ production has the look and feel of a post modern history lesson about the Lehman’s performed with 3 incredible actors, instead of teachers, and the results are beyond anything that I’ve ever witnessed in a theatre. Everything from production design, staging, acting, lighting, music, movement, sound, script is on a different level from anything I’ve seen this month, and I’ve seen 10 shows! Oh Simon Russell Beale! Legend!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 →

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 →
