• “ The Lehman Trilogy”. This show will win the Tony Award for Best Play! Look for “Lehman” to clean up as well for Best Actor,
• Best Set Design, Sound and many other awards on Tony night. Set in a cube, the story of the Lehman family coming to America
• as German immigrants. The story takes us through the trials and tribulations of three generations of the Lehman family. Al-
• though the play is three and a half hours long, it keeps the audience engrossed. Sam Mendes directs this well written play beau-

• two months in 1963. Like “Angels In America” and most of his theatrical writing, Kushner tries to cram in to many things into the
