Enron
The signature story of our age
The Guardian
Why see Enron?
ENRON is a stunning spectacle, a powerhouse of theatrics and an electric drama about one of the greatest disasters of the modern era: the blazing rise and explosive fall of the American energy giant.
Lucy Pebble's stunning play arrives on Broadway after a 6 Olivier Award-nominated London premiere. Told with a mixture of music, movement and multimedia, ENRON uses grand theatrical innovation to explore the corporate greed, personal arrogance, savage intelligence, utter naïveté and shattering collapse of a modern day empire.
There is nothing more dangerous than power in the wrong hands.

Now I get it! Couldn't be more entertained by a lesson
When the Enron debacle was undfolding, I couldn't grasp what was going on. This show, amazingly, gives just enough information to make all the pieces I didn't get fit together. Even more amazing, it shows the underlying feelings, patterns and failures with fabulous choreography and staging. This is exactly the kind of thing we all need to understand better if we are going to keep the so-called experts from ripping us off every 8 years! I saw it opening night and can't wait to go back.
