TWO WEEKS LEFT:
It's the "Smartest Guys in the Room" meets "Avenue Q" when Enron continues its West Coast Premiere at San Francisco's Exit Theater in August. Oh and did I say that there are puppets and raptors...
The show has gotten rave reviews:
- Huffington Post's George Heymont "strongly recommends" Enron. He uniformly praises the performances, while singling out Nathan Tucker who "brilliantly portrays" Andy Fastow. He closes by noting, "When it comes to the theatre’s ability to dissect and depict what has caused recent wild swings of financial markets (as well as the global crises of the past two decades), Prebble’s play [is] as an excellent piece."
- Robert Avila at the Bay Guardian praises the script, "simplifying strategies serve well to clarify the real-life actions and consequences" and calls the puppet designs "imaginative" and commends performances from the principals Alex Plant, Laurie Burke and Nathan Fastow as "manic sycophant" Andy Fastow.
- Zane Johnston at SF Station, praises the "vivaciousness" of the cast and and notes of the Enron scandal, "When the ruse begins to backfire, however, is when the play really reaches its apex; it’s hard not to snicker darkly in knowing anticipation as the gauche Fastow becomes increasingly agitated."
Think you know the story of Enron? Think again...Jeff Skilling. Ken Lay. Andy Fastow. Just a few of the "smartest" guys behind one of the biggest scams in the history of the US.
But was it a scam or just ahead of its time?
