Simon Russell Beale and Adam Godley will reprise their roles from London’s National Theatre’s run, while Howard M. Overshown will play the third lead.
In 2008 the world watched Lehman Brothers employees hefting cardboard storage boxes of their belongings as they fled their offices the day this huge global financial firm imploded.The original three siblings emigrated from Bavaria in the mid-1800s and built their business, brick by figurative brick. Their sons, and theirs, related by blood and shackled to a family history, carried on, expanding from cotton to commodities to cash to leverage.
Involved from the outset was Simon Russell Beale , who plays eldest brother Henry. Adam Godley followed, playing youngest brother Mayer. Godley came a year later, when 10 actors were workshopping the roles. Included among them was Ben Miles , who eventually played Emanuel but who has since left for other projects.
“We need to be able to produce and get rid of props without the audience seeing,” Godley explains. “We’ve got these incredibly specifically sized and strategically placed pockets …”“The first time I put my coat on, it felt like a glove,” adds Overshown. “All our costumes are similar but slightly different.”
Original London and Broadway cast member of “The Lehman Trilogy” Simon Russell Beale will reprise his role in the acclaimed production at Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre March 3 through April 6. “I was reading the play for the first time with the two other understudies, who were from before the pandemic,” he recalls. “So they were doing a line-through. They knew the show backward and forward. I lived the actor’s nightmare for six weeks. I would wake up at 3 in the morning and get up and start doing lines because I had to catch up.”
