CARDIGAN’S Theatr Mwldan will be screening the National Theatre Live production of The Lehman Trilogy, the story of a family and a company that changed the world, told in three parts on a single evening.
Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes (Skyfall, The Ferryman) directs Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Ben Miles who play the Lehman Brothers, their sons and grandsons.
On a cold September morning in 1844 a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside. Dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers and an American epic begins.
163 years later, the firm they establish – Lehman Brothers – spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy and triggers the largest financial crisis in history.
This critically acclaimed and five-time Olivier Award nominated play features stunning set design from Es Devlin (NT Live: Hamlet) and will be broadcast live from London’s West End as part of National Theatre Live’s 10th birthday season.
This five-star show is not to be missed. “Astonishing… an acting masterclass,” writes The Guardian, while The Times says: “Theatre at its best. Sam Mendes triumphs.”
The Daily Telegraph adds: “I urge you to see this extraordinary theatrical experience.”
It will be screened tonight (Tuesday, September 3) at 7pm.
Tickets for National Theatre Live screenings are priced at £12.50 full price (£11.50 concessions) and are available now from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200, on-line at mwldan.co.uk or via the Mwldan app.
