Husbands and Sons

Stefano Massini

On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers, and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish - Lehman Brothers - spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history, this epic theatrical event charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees. The Lehman Trilogy is the quintessential story of western capitalism, rendered through the lens of a single immigrant family. Note: Nick Powell's original music from the Broadway and West End productions (which is available for streaming on music platforms) is not approved or licensed by Concord Theatricals for use in performance.

The Lehman Trilogy

Eurípides

Medea is a wife and a mother. When her husband abandons his family for a new life, she exacts an appalling revenge and destroys everything she holds dear. Ben Power's version of Euripides' tragedy Medea premiered at the National Theatre, London, in July 2014.--From back cover.

Medea

"Defeated in battle and exiled from Heaven, Satan burns in a lake of fire with his army of rebels around him. Consumed with envy, he plots his bitter revenge - to destroy God's delight in his newest creation. During his hunt for Paradise on Earth, Satan sweet-talks his way out of Hell and tricks his way across the universe to tempt Eve and seduce humanity." "Paradise Lost, the greatest epic poem in the English language, is a richly theatrical vision of the Fall of Mankind. As exhilarating as it is profound, Milton's extraordinary masterpiece is brought to life in Ben Power's adaptation for the stage."--BOOK JACKET.
