ENRON
Minerva, Chichester Theatre
Royal Court Theatre

Broadhurst Theatre, Broadway
“A confluence of skills - Anthony Ward's set, Mark Henderson's lighting, Jon Driscoll's video and Adam Cork's soundscape - creates a reverberating cathedral of light and darkness, a mammon heaven. Market figures run continuously in a strip of scarlet neon. Fluorescent tubes dangle from the roof, flushing red, white and blue at the time of the Bush election, and later turning into lime-green Jedi swords. A chorus is covered in illuminated columns of numbers, converted from characters into financial artefacts. The Enron logo appears high above the stage, as does a pumped-up chief, addressing his staff like a preacher in a pulpit; when the word "GOLD" flashes up there, it's easy to miss the "L".”
