critics (enron)

Hemming - it transmits the thrill of innovation,

of being on a roll, and conveys the danger of greed

Benedict - a cross between an insightful analysis and

a savage satire of high capitalism as a moral vacuum

Billington - theatre needs to

engage seriously with capitalism

Billington - it is not enough to simply

stand up and denounce it

Hitchings - Prebble suggests that the trouble with economic evangelists of [Skilling’s] stripe

is that their message is so appealingly fantastic

Brantley - smoke

and mirrors

Brantley - lucid to the

point of simple mindedness

Barnett - it finished with a quote from the Bible

that is then twisted in a reference to finance

Haydon - the all singing, all-dancing extravaganza depicts

the intricacies of corruption and collapse

Spencer - the lack of naturalism in the production

reflects the unreality of Enron itself

Spencer - vulnerable to the

faintest nudge of healthy scepticism

Megson - the corporation has replaced the cathedral

as the locus of fervent belief

Prebble - I was keen to share out the complicity between the sexes,

however much of it was a male dominated industry

Prebble - I don’t believe women

are inherently more ‘moral’ than men
