Enron — the smartest play in the room

Times Online: "How did a play about accountancy become the must-see show of 2009? Next week Enron transfers to the West End after rave reviews at its debut in Chichester helped to sell all 22,000 seats of its autumn stint at the Royal Court before the run even began. In April, a production opens on Broadway. In London, it’s already taken more than £1 million in advance bookings — small beer compared with the £40 billion that the Enron energy corporation owed when it went bankrupt in December 2001, but pretty darn impressive for a play about number-crunching in Texas."
