Produced by Rupert Goold, the artistic director of Headlong, Lucy Prebble?s play Enron is going to be transferred to the Noel Coward Theatre in the West End in the very beginning of 2010.
The play is built around the famous ?Enron scandal? involving the American giant energy company Enron Corp, which went bankrupt at the end of 2001.
Rupert Goold was very creative in this play; he brought about some new ideas on the stage and used innovative video clips, selected appropriate music that fits into the feel of the play nicely and created some well-choreographed dance sequences.
?Enron? has a distinguished group in the cast. The main character in the play, Jeffrey Skilling, severely condemned ex president of Enron Corp, is played by Samuel West. The founder and chairman of Enron Ken Lay is played by the splendid Tim Piggot Smith.
Both of the actors have performed remarkably well so far along with their co-artists. The production was an immediate success and during its run at London?s Royal Court, the show was sold out for the whole six weeks. The world premiere was held in July 2009 at the famous Chichester Festival, and the play was well received.
The mastermind behind the production Rupert Goold has been greatly influenced by the success of Enron, and has already declared ?Gulliver? to be his company ?Headlong?s? next project.
