Artistic Director PJ Powers of TimeLine Theatre Company in Chicago was a guest on my weekly WJOB radio show in September to discuss the Chicago premiere production of Stefano Massini and Ben Power’s internationally acclaimed and Tony Award-winning play “The Lehman Trilogy,” now being presented with Broadway in Chicago.
I told him I was familiar with the last name of this sibling trio, forever credited with creating the financial invention of “the middleman” for everything from commerce to investments and anything in between.Powers was intrigued during our on-air interview when I explained in our Northwest Indiana farming community, we have a similar last name family, also more than a century old with the similar last name of Leman, just minus an “H,” and a similar business identity.
“The Lehman Trilogy” stage investment also details the “making of a mint,” but in a far different fashion, as associated with financial gain via shrewd investment. Codirected with precision by Nick Bowling and Vanessa Stalling, the cast includes just three actors who not only play the core three brothers, arriving from Bavaria in the 1800s to settle in Alabama, but the three also portray the later generations of the Lehman family who run the financial empire which so famously collapsed in 2008.
Told in three parts in the course of the clever and symbolic staging, audiences are greeted by the opening moments transporting all in time to that cold September morning in 1844 when brother Henry first arrives as a proud Jewish immigrant from Bavaria to New York after a month and half ocean journey.
