Enron

Although the play is still in previews the Royal Court confirmed today via Twitter that ENRON, directed by Rupert Gould, will be transferring to an extended run at a West End in 2010.

ENRON tells a horrific, compelling story, and this play is exciting not only for its starry production team, but also for the chance to revisit the first car wreck of the naughty noughties. Gould clearly has a lot to live up to if he expects the play to surpass the shocking 2005 documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room but clearly producers are already confident that it’s got what it takes to pack in the crowds.

The current run at the Royal Court ends on November 7 and all tickets have already sold out. Enron will be transferring to the Noel Coward Theatre on St Martin’s Lane between 16 Jan and 8 May 2010. It seems the producers believe that the country’s appitite for stories of financial failure will not ease along with the recession.
