Enron Review
Enron Earns 4* Review from Benedict Nightingale in The Times.
Enron opened in London at the Noel Coward Theatre in January this year and was reviewed on its second night by Benedict Nightingale for the Times – the full review is on The Times Online.
Obviously it was well received by the reviewer – a 4* review – here are a couple of quotes:-
It was quietly launched in Chichester’s studio theatre, moved to the Royal Court, opened last night in the West End, and is bound for Broadway, where I suspect and hope it will cause the same stir among bankers, fixers and their victims as Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money did in the Big Bang era. Good for Lucy Prebble. Good for her Enron.
That a potentially dry subject is actually packed with juice is also due to the actors: Tim Pigott-Smith’s Kenneth Lay, Enron’s founder and a man whose folksy bonhomie conceals ruthlessness; Tom Goodman-Hill as the obsequious nerd who devises and then disowns the fiscal trickery; and, above all, Samuel West as the CEO who is now doing 24 years in jug. At first his Skilling is an eager-to-please wimp with a swot’s face, specs and floppy hair; then comes smoothness, assurance and a dangerous sense of invulnerability; and then he’s a sobbing, disbelieving wreck, one step away from an orange jump-suit.
