"The most infamous scandal in financial history becomes a theatrical epic in Lucy Prebble's parable, republished in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series"--
"The political theatre of the 21st century has arrived, in some style." The Times
The most infamous scandal in corporate history. The most vilified figures in the financial world. The most audacious (and destructive) display of greed history has ever seen.
Charting the notorious rise and fall of the eponymous company and its founding partners Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, Lucy Prebble's Enron is a pulse-racing and rage-inducing parable, exploring the limits of greed... or lack thereof.
Mixing classical tragedy with savage comedy, Enron is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Natasha Tripney.
