Lucy Prebble's ENRON is a spectacular piece of theatre: a musical, a satirical sketch of one of the world's biggest corporate collapses, and a must-see in the West End after its sell-out run at the Royal Court.This highly charged play investigates the speculative mechanisations that propelled the "innovative" energy company's global expansion through vivid metaphors. Centre stage is Jeffrey Skilling (Samuel West), a deluded Ivy-league graduate, entrusted by founder Ken Lay (Tim Pigott-Smith) to lead the firm into glamorous territory through deregulated energy market trading, much to the criticism of striking blonde Claudia Roe (Amanda Drew), the only one who shows a degree of sense when it comes to making real profits. Skilling relies on grasping whiz-kid Andrew Fastow (Tom Goodman-Hill) to conceal the company's burgeoning debt, but soon fraudulent fantasies turn into nightmares, as seen in the scaly monsters lurking in the "powerhouse". The head honchos become embroiled in a scandal. The play has its finger on the button as it reveals the greed that hemmed in the capitalist system, notably in the straightjacket of the Lehman Brothers. As most of us struggle to claw our way out of the downturn, while bankers' bonuses remain buoyant, you wonder whether we have actually learnt from the moral depravity of the Enron case.
