Enron

‘Enron’ is without doubt one of the best new plays from not just 2009, but the last twenty years. It is epic in its scale and beautifully realised on stage in the co-production between Headlong Theatre in London, Chichester Festival Theatre and the Royal Court. It keeps its director Rupert Goold in the limelight as one of our top directors and features a fantastic ensemble cast. It is not surprising that it has received a West End transfer and it will surely only be a matter of time before it is on Broadway.

The show will run at the Noel Coward Theatre until 8th May. Theatre tickets are on sale and they will surely sell fast. The play explains the collapse of Enron, the American company which perpetrated one of the largest corporate frauds ever. The company’s collapse bought down the world’s biggest accountancy firm with it.

Whilst the characters behind Enron are fascinating and flawed, the surprising part of the play’s appeal is the ways in which complex accountancy principles are explained in highly theatrical terms. It is also the case that Enron was a scandal which highlighted the instability and inequality of American capitalism prior to the world-changing credit crunch.

A starry cast which includes Tom Goodman-Hill, Tim Pigott-Smith and Samuel West make this show one you really should not miss.
