We explore the ongoing fascination of the Lehman Brothers story.
A play - The Lehman Trilogy - is currently being shown in London to five-star reviews.
It documents the rise and fall of the financial services firm, which filed for bankruptcy in 2008 - the largest insolvency in history, and considered a defining moment in the global financial crisis.
The play has been seen by half a million theatregoers globally - and now Business Daily has been to watch it too.
We speak to the cast, adapting playwright, and the audience about the story's appeal.
Produced and presented by Elizabeth Hotson
