Enron: Corporate Bankruptcy & High Drama
After a sold-out run at the Royal Court Theatre, Lucy Prebble’s vivid reconstruction of America’s largest corporate bankruptcy is ready to make its West End transfer. Directed by Rupert Goold, & starring Tim Pigott-Smith as disgraced CEO Kenneth Lay, Enron mixes comedy with tragedy in a remarkable piece of expressionist theatre.
In 2001 Enron was one of the world’s leading energy suppliers, claiming revenues of over $100m. The Houston based business had seen its share price go into the stratosphere under Chairman Kenneth Lay & his hotshot board of executives. Unfortunately some creative accounting that turned losses into profits couldn’t halt the inevitable market ‘correction’.
With tickets for the Royal Court production selling like a stock market bubble, Enron previews at the Noel Coward theatre from 16 January 2010.
