A play about an American energy company, it´s rise and fall - how interesting can that be? My expectations were not very high when I went to the theatre, but luckily I was wrong. Enron, a play by Lucy Prebble in Helsingin Kaupunginteatteri is more than a brilliant play well staged: it is surgery.
The phenomenal success story turned foul is such an amazing example how a few greedy men managed to betray millions of people by selling nothing – at it´s heyday Enron was America´s seventh largest company employing over 20 000 staff in 40 countries, built on a lie.
On the stage we see now the drama of it made extremely well. The actors, the stage setting, the rhythm, the visual suprises – everything is running like a clockwork. A very bloody clockwork. Case closed. Or is it?
