Enron

Lucy Prebble's debut play The Sugar Syndrome won her the Critics Circle and George Devine Awards for Most Promising New Playwright in 2003. Since then she has achieved success as a screenwriter for TV with Diary of a Callgirl. Enron is her second play for the stage.

'Lucy Prebble's powerful, pertinent new play Enron shines a startling light on the sudden collapse of the US energy and communications giant' Mark Shenton, Sunday Express, 27.9.09 'Lucy Prebble's hugely ambitious play, covering the rise and fall of the Texan energy company, Enron, is an exhilarating mix of political satire, modern morality and multimedia spectacle.' Michael Billington, Guardian, 23.7.09 'The political theatre of the 21st century has arrived, in some style' Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 23.7.09 'Caryl Churchill's Serious Money skewered the 1980s; Prebble's Enron knifes the Noughties' Robert Hewison, Sunday Times, 26.7.09 'the collapse of US energy giant Enron brilliantly reconfigured by Lucy Prebble as classical tragedy' 'Prebble's great skill lies in her ability to take us through complex concepts with ease, without bemusing or, worse, patronising us.' Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard, 23.7.09 'Lucy Prebble's dazzling play is a firecracker' 'hugely entertaining - and accessible' Charles Spencer, Telegraph, 23.06.09 'Purely electrifying drama.'
