Broadway has officially been back open since September. But it’s not entirely the same as it was before. Even beyond the COVID-19 vaccine checks and the masking requirements… it’s different. Because unlike a movie or a TV show, a live performance is new every time. The directors, actors, writers, and crew can adjust and adapt.

The brains behind The Lehman Trilogy have done just that since the pandemic upended our lives. They’ve asked themselves the hard questions and have re-approached the work. And after sold out runs in London, The Lehman Trilogy is now on Broadway until January 2nd. In this episode Epicenter’s S. Mitra Kalita speaks with award winning actor Adrian Lester, who plays Emanuel Lehman, and playwright Ben Power.
