Declaring “I am going to divide my kingdom,” an aging king of Britain puts his daughters to the test – how much do they love him? This irresistible beginning starts a classic story about fathers and children, property, power, and possession. Seduced by the flattery of his eldest daughters, King Lear banishes his youngest, Cordelia, and unknowingly sets in motion a plot of treachery and murder. Shakespeare’s tragedy about the fall and decay of the world, tells a tale of madness, tyranny, loyalty, and love.

King Lear makes a strange choice when dividing up his kingdom for his children. He requires them to flatter him and prove their love and affection before receiving their portion of the kingdom. Cordelia is the only one that actually loves him, but refuses to play his game. She is punished severely. Are there times in life that you face a decision to “play the game” or not? If so, what helps you decide what to do?

An epic portrayal of the American dream

In 1844, Heyum Lehmann arrives in New York from Bavaria to make his way in a new world. After changing his name to Henry Lehman, he and his brothers start a small fabric business that evolves over generations to become a powerful international finance firm. More than a century later, the firm spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, leaving unprecedented disaster in its wake. This sweeping generational saga questions how we define heroes and villains — and where we draw the line between them. Requiring tour-de-force performances by three actors playing multiple characters, the real-life story of the Lehman brothers unfolds with surprising elegance and astonishing theatricality.

Three things to know

The Lehman Trilogy is based on a true — but little-known — story about the Lehman family and their business, which collapsed in 2008 and rocked the U.S. economy.
Three actors deliver powerhouse performances as they portray more than 50 characters over the course of 170 years.
The Broadway production of The Lehman Trilogy received vast critical acclaim and won five Tony Awards in 2022, including Best Play.

Note: This show runs around 3-and-a-half hours, including two intermissions.

Content Warnings/Age Recommendations

Contains mature themes including enslavement, war and suicide. This performance is recommended for ages 14 and older.

All Performance Dates

Thursday, 9/26 at 7pm
Tuesday, 10/1 at 7pm
Wednesday, 10/2 at 7pm

Themes

Over the course of the play, which spans several generations, we notice that the Lehman brothers’ traditional observance of grief changes significantly. When they first arrive in America in the 1840s, they grieve in the same manner in which they were raised. But eventually their adherence to tradition dissipates. How might this change be relevant to our lives today?
The Lehman brothers, in their efforts to become successful in America, choose to cater their business to slaveowners in the south. Thus to varying degrees, they willingly participate in and benefit from the institution of slavery. Do you think they had other options they could have chosen, to be successful? Why or why not?

ANTARANGA: Between You and Me is set in a world in deep crisis (much like our own) where most people have lost their ability to sense the energy of other human beings and can no longer recognize or connect with each other. A few humsafar (Urdu for “fellow travelers”) remain, blessed with super-connecting and heart-opening powers. As they undertake perilous journeys, they forge connectivities that may yet heal the world.

ANTARANGA is the first work in a duology, and explores themes of intimacy, connection, trust, and community among BIPOC women/femmes.
