By Lucy Prebble
Directed by Hannah Wolf

A true story of false profits, ENRON follows the astounding rise and fall of the Houston-based energy company. Presented as an epic myth, featuring a cast of all women and non-binary actors, ENRON takes us through the twists and turns of capitalism, the glamour of greed and the toxic adrenaline of success. Witness the depth of deceit that led to one of the largest financial scandals in history.

View the ENRON playbill.

The running time for ENRON is approximately two hours and thirty minutes and includes one intermission.
