this book is one that i had to read for a level english literature and i didn't expect top enjy it as much as i did (i susually enjoy the poetry elements of the course rather than drama) but i thought that this play was very well written and that prebble's writing was pretty much incredible.
enron is the dramatisation of the fall of the 'world's most innovative company' and it follows the CEO jeffery skilling and his partner in crime, andy fastow, and they gain everything and lose it over the course of nine years. the play was - in my opinion - very enjoyable and i loved prebble's exploration of staging and use of stage directions, a liberty that i never really get otherwise in drama (i'm looking at you, shakespeare, marlowe and euripides). i will definitely be reading again - mostly because i ahve to, the play won't revise itself - but i am sure i will emjoy it a second time.
