New Play Enron Books Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre

Lucy Prebble’s Enron has booked Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre. The new play, directed by Rupert Goold, will begin previews there on April 8, 2010 and officially open on April 27, 2010.

Inspired by real-life events and using music, dance and video, Enron explores one of the most infamous scandals in financial history, reviewing the tumultuous 1990s and casting a new light on the financial turmoil in which the world currently finds itself.

Enron, which was commissioned by Headlong Theatre, premiered this past summer at the Minerva Theatre Chichester, and then moved to a six-week run at the Royal Court Theatre, where it played through November 8, 2009. The play will transfer to West End’s Noel Coward Theatre in January 2010.

No casting has been announced for the Broadway production of Enron, which will feature scenic and costume design by Anthony Ward, lighting by Mark Henderson, music and sound by Adam Cork, video and projection by Jon Driscoll and movement by Scott Ambler.
