In telling the story of the Lehman family from the 1848 arrival in the United States of the first of three immigrant brothers to the failure of their eponymous company in 2008, “The Lehman Trilogy” takes on an epic, sweeping scope. With three actors.
Covering territory usually more associated with documentaries, the actors both narrate a lot of the events and portray dozens of characters, starting with the three brothers Henry (Mitchell J. Fain), Emanuel (Anish Jethmalani), and Mayer (Joey Slotnick), and then expanding to portray dozens of their wives, children, rabbis, customers, business partners, and more.
