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. Coming in April 2010!

One of the most infamous scandals in financial history becomes a theatrical epic. 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 reviled figures from the financial scandal of the century with quotes like, "The only difference between me and the people judging me is they weren't smart enough to do what we did."

Mixing classical tragedy with savage comedy, Enron follows a group of flawed men and women in a narrative of greed and loss which reviews the tumultuous 1990s and casts a new light on the financial turmoil in which the world finds itself in today.

I'd buy it since I couldn't see the show.

Yah. It's the play... which has been out for a long time. I bought a copy while I was in London in early April.
