i will definitely be reading again - mostly because i ahve to, the play won't revise itself - but i am sure i will emjoy it a second time. The people in here are so bad as to be one-dimensional caricatures, which I suppose is partly the point Prebble is making.

Having unraveled the complexities of the case, the play doesn’t really leave the reader/viewer with anything other than “those guys are crooks” or “capitalism is all a fraud,” and both are gross oversimplifications.Enron executive Jeffrey Skilling and his boss Kenneth Lay are shown, as well as Skilling's protege Andy Fastow, who rises to become the chief financial officer. At once a case study and an allegory, the play charts the notorious rise and fall of Enron and its founding partners Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, who became 'the most vilified figure from the financial scandal of the century'. Even on the page ENRON feels important and original, full of neat symbolism, vividly-sketched characters and those distinctive, subversive, counter-intuitive Prebblian epigrams. It features rather naturalistic dialogue alongside the appearance of prehistoric raptors, a board of directors wearing pig heads, Siamese twin Lehman Brothers, ventriloquist and dummy Arthur Anderson, and so forth. EAT THE RICH, SELFISH W*NKERS, TOO CAUGHT UP IN THEIR TESTOSTERONE FUELED LIES TO NOTICE THE REAL LIVES IMPACTED.

Enron won the 2009 Theatrical Management Association award for Best New Play and was also nominated for Best Performance in a Play (Samuel West). the play was - in my opinion - very enjoyable and i loved prebble's exploration of staging and use of stage directions, a liberty that i never really get otherwise in drama (i'm looking at you, shakespeare, marlowe and euripides).
