Loved seeing the production live in NYC and this discussion added another layer and insight to the piece. Thanks for posting!

I saw the Lehman Trilogy yesterday as it was broadcast live from the National Theatre in London at a cinema out on Long Island where I live. I was glad to see the theatre packed as the more people who attend broadcast shows, it is my hope that more will continue to be broadcast.

Thank you indeed! A few cardboard boxes and theatrical genius of such perfection that, as with the original production of Peter Shaffer's 'Royal Hunt of the Sun', it is impossible to imagine a better rendering, anywhere, anytime.
