I haven't been including many plays in my reading challenges lately so I figure I would change that and begin with this one. I was old enough to know the whole Enron scandal but never really knew the events that lead up to the great scandal. I also remember seeing that this production was up on Broadway and was very curious to check it out because it seemed very surreal at the time for me to see a production about a real event to include like a singing chorus and raptors running around the stage.
I'm glad that my library had a digital recording of the production when it ran in LA because even though I would have enjoyed it if I read the script, I don't think I would have appreciated it more were it not for the recording to know how it was played out. It was definitely a unique way of telling a real live event and it definitely got the point across about how this company ended up where it ended up.
I truly enjoyed the recording and I treated it as listening to a very well executed and produced podcast. I might be interested in listening to more production recordings in this manner.

Every time I read something Lucy Prebble has written I spend half my reading-time thinking about how smart and cool she is. Enron takes the world of business and makes it more pathetic — if that’s possible — faster-paced, and of course very theatrical. (If you, like me, attempted to watch The Big Short and soon found yourself catastrophically bored, you might really like this play.)
