  What an amazing performance. The script , the directorial vision encapsulated in the tightly woven interchange of three actors in an innovative set design. Bravo!

  A great set. Loved the rotating stage and skilful use of packing boxes. How the three actors who are on stage the whole time cope with all those lines is amazing. Not a dull moment. We went to a matinee so I assume the three were back on the stage for another three hours later that day. Astonishing

  The Play kept my attention for the whole 3 hours and 15 minutes. The three actors moved seamlessly and fascinatingly between characters. I also learnt somethings I didn’t know

  Such a thought provoking play, raises many questions about capitalism, society, nepotism, and much more

  This play is brilliant and I am so pleased I was lucky enough to get tickets on such a short run. The acting by all the cast was excellent and the script superb.

  The actors were yelling so much at certain points that it became kind of disturbing. A story should be told calmly at most times. Voices should be raised where appropriate. There were at least 5 scenes where I was thinking; why is this person yelling their lungs out when telling this? Lehman brothers must have been through tough times, ups and downs etc. The acting tries to be funny and over the top at times but does a poor job of actually depicting the story of Lehmans. Also, I think it would add more color if we can get more people to play the sons, the wife etc. I don't see this as a piece of beautiful theatre show but see it more of a standup comedy combined with revolving glass office.

  Excellent in every way - acting, stage design, direction, writing

  The venue consists of a stupendous array, indeed a warren, of bars and entertainment spots - though little sign of a theatre (no signage) and no lifts. Once inside, the theatre area is very well appointed and comfortable. The play itself was, for me, the most boring production I have ever seen in over 57 years of theatre-going - though brilliantly performed.

  Absolutely incredible epic effort by all three performers. Light hearted, admirable and easily led to picture the whole set up as The Lehman Brothers made their life in America. Such huge speaking parts, very clever staging - and without a doubt a must see performance. Many congratulations all round.

  Enjoyed learning the story of the generational views of business. Hope we can all go back in time and make it about community.

  Regrettably from the box office never emailed me my tickets. Unfortunately I didn't realise this until I was walking to the theatre. Because there is no contact telephone number I was unable to speak to someone regarding this issue and as a result was told I would have to miss the first act. We didn't bother staying as it was pointless. As a result have not seen the show and are £170 out of pocket with a waste of an evening behind us. Would not book through from the box office again.

  One of the best productions I have experienced. Wonderful performances, set design, transitions, music, and script. What a theatre experience should be.

  The theatre Gillian Lynne was very good, nice comfortable seats. The three actors who played the Lehman Bros performance was excellent. and the story of their happy and tragic lives - was so nicely told thro the narration of the drama performance.

  We thought the acting and the staging was very clever. The first part seemed to be a bit slow. My partner was not happy with the men playing all the parts, inc. women, babies etc., but I thought it was clever. He would have liked to have seen more actors. I did not know the history of the Lehman Brothers and it put the demise of the bank into perspective

  This is theatre at its best. A tour de force by the three actors. The play engaged one’s attention from start to finish. The ‘scenery’ was sparse but worked well and the changing backdrop innovative and clever. A hugely enjoyable performance.

  We saw Lehman Trilogy on Broadway a few years ago and were delighted.This version was every bit as wonderful. Bravo!

  This was very clever with one set and many characters. Story was interesting although some of it could have been told in a shortened version. Amazing actors and the insight into where it all began.

  We thoroughly enjoyed TLT yesterday but found it a little long and felt the first Act could have been slightly shorter. Nevertheless brilliantly acted and a very clever production.

  This is a sentimental and shallow history of a family of bankers, perhaps instructive in the first act (when the first Lehmans traded cotton in the 1840s), but cannot explain anything about the 1929 and 2008 crises in the following acts. The text authors simply don't seem to know what they are talking about. As a play, it has no real antagonism between the characters, no discussion of ideas, no criticism. The idea. if there is one, is to sing a 'kaddish' for the old good bankers and speculators of the last two centuries, now substituted by computers. It is a musical --only problem, it is without songs. Good actors, though. Very imaginative direction, for a poor and overextended play.

  Actors were really good, story was not a story and the performance had more antisemitic elements in it. Agree with the Guardian critic.

  Superb! I hung on every word…clever script and amazing acting. The set and the actors movement within it was also dynamic and held one’s attention. Also huge thank you to Holly who took us upstairs via the lift and helped us get drinks…a fab ‘concierge’!’

  What a play! Satisfaction on all levels, visually and intellectually. Dazzling performance from these three actors playing so many different characters. I had read the book in its original Italian edition. This is a very faithful rendition of the book’s spirit. Bravissimo and thank you

  Entertaining and informative. The three and a half hour play sped by and I truly applaud the talented three-man cast. It was also a fascinating insight into the stock market, which I've never understood.

  An interesting and thought provoking play about immigrants and the snowball effect of what starts off as resourceful enterprise and snowballs into a self destructive pursuit of wealth encouraged by the American Dream with capitalist values being king. It shows adeptly how these values in the end supersede all else . The Acting is simply superb
