The Lehman Trilogy was the most awarded play last season on Broadway, winning Best Play, Best Director, Best Set Design, Best Lighting Design and Best Actor. It was also awarded the Drama League Award for Best Play and six Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Play.  Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley, and Ben Miles originally performed the multiple roles in London and New York.  First commissioned by Neal Street Productions and developed and co-produced with the National Theatre at the Lyttelton theatre in 2018, followed by an acclaimed sold-out run at the Park Avenue Armory in the Spring of 2019, The Lehman Trilogy returned to London for a 16-week sold-out run at the Piccadilly Theatre in the West End from May to August 2019. Following Broadway's 18-month shutdown, The Lehman Trilogy was the first British play to return to Broadway — where it had previously played four performances in March 2020 — for a much-lauded limited engagement at the Nederlander Theatre from September 2021 – January 2022. A Los Angeles transfer to Center Theatre Group’s Ahmanson Theatre followed from March – April 2022.   Prior to this, the world premiere of Stefano Massini’s The Lehman Trilogy opened at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan in 2015.
