Hadley's first response is at 9:43 into the podcast.

His laugh at 11:43!!

11:54, 16:55 -- "I suppose" (always waiting to hear him say this in interviews!)

Yes yes, I realize The Lehman Trilogy is a Tony-award winning play with Oscar & Tony-Award winning director Sam Mendes bringing it to the West End but…you mean to tell me…we might get multiple hours of Hadley in a tailored suit??? 🫣😵‍💫🥺🥵

“The three actors not only play the three Lehman brothers who founded the business but all other roles. They play their children and grandchildren, including Philip Lehman (son of Emanuel, played by Simon Russell Beale), Herbert Lehman (son of Mayer, played by Ben Miles), and Robert Lehman (son of Philip, played by Adam Godley), as well as various minor characters[20] during the unfolding of family history such as wives, toddlers, and business partners, although they never change the original costume – tailored three-piece suits often seen in 19th-century portraits of men.”

EMPHASIS MINE.

Hehehe just bought a ticket to see the other place again so that I can properly stare into Tobias Menzies' face for an hour and a half up close analyse the production some more to disentangle how much of its impact is the writing vs the sheer acting firepower.

Sam Mendes notes to Es Devlin re: Lehman Trilogy (24:00)

Animate the idea.

Make concrete the shape of history.

Understand the order present in chaos.

Understand in your head, so you can feel it in your gut.

Reveal the simple human needs behind the creation of complex human systems.

"When it comes to triumphing in every trade, you'd be sore-pressed to find someone on stage as accomplished as Hadley Fraser.

From fronting major musical revivals to classic plays, the man has the enviable ability to appear anywhere."

“It’s really easy to look at these institutions like banks and ignore the fact that they’re made up of humans; all of the things you’re hearing on the news cycle — the markets and all of that stuff. A bank is made up of people, and it becomes non-human the bigger it gets, and when it falls apart, the collateral becomes human. For me, that’s what I found so moving,” Fraser told us.
