Enron. The play?

While working as a secretary, 29-year-old British playwrite Lucy Prebble wrote The Sugar Syndrome, about a friendship between a teen and a pedophile.  It opened at the Royal Court in 2003.  She also created Showtimes's Secret Diary of a Call Girl, based on the memoir of upscale London prostitute Belle de Jour.  In an interview for W magazine, she said, "Thematically, a lot of the things I write are similar, but people don't see it that way.  They think prostitution is very difference from buisness, but they're both about deception and compartmentalization."

Her newest play, Enron, is a tragicomedy about the 2001 scandal.  Directed by Rupert Goold, this play uses modern dance on a frazzled trading floor and analysts sing praises to Enron in a babershop trio.  London Evening Standard called it "a corporate Mcbeth".  The production will head to London's West End in January and to Broadway in the spring. 

Columbia Pictures has aquired to rights to Enron, and Prebble is now working on the screenplay.  I wonder if it will have dancing and singing in it?  If it doesn't...it should!
