On a cold September morning in 1844 a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers and an American epic begins. 163 years later the firm they establish - Lehman Brothers - spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy triggering the largest financial crisis in history.Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history this epic theatrical event charts the humble beginnings outrageous successes and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees./ The Lehman Trilogy is the quintessential story of western capitalism rendered through the lens of a single immigrant family.Note: Nick Powell's original music from the Broadway and West End productions (which is available for streaming on music platforms) is not approved or licensed by Concord Theatricals for use in performance.

'Here at least we shall be free. Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.' Defeated in battle and exiled from heaven, Satan burns in a lake of fire with his army of rebels around him. Consumed with envy, he plots his bitter revenge - to destroy God's delight in his newest creation. During his hunt for Paradise on Earth, Satan sweet-talks his way out of hell and tricks his way across the universe to tempt Eve and seduce humanity. "Paradise Lost", the greatest epic poem in the English language, is a richly theatrical vision of the Fall of Mankind. This version is produced by the Oxford Stage Company and begins a UK tour in April 2006. 'Sublime and thrilling, this will switch many people on to Milton for life'. 'Juicy and decadent, Ben Power's version makes voluptuous sense'. 'Wonderful...the choreography is inspired...an admirable adaptation'.

Another Romeo and another Juliet in a strikingly different love story.Ben Power weaves the text of Romeo and Juliet into a provocative new tale of love and sacrifice. Re-imagining Shakespeare's story, A Tender Thing is an elegiac yet ultimately hopeful account of the human capacity for love.

When a married couple discover that their lifetime together is drawing to a close, they realise they cannot contemplate being apart.A Tender Thing was first staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company at Northern Stage, Newcastle, in 2009.
