Financial Scandals at Festival Theatre

Lucy Prebble's play ENRON will receive a world premiere at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester in July.

Based on real life and using music, movement 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 finds itself in 2009.

Samuel West will play Jeffrey Skilling, the former Chief Executive of Enron, Tom Goodman-Hill plays Andrew Fastow, Enron's former Chief Financial Officer and Tim Pigott-Smith plays Enron's original founder Ken Lay.

ENRON is directed by Rupert Goold, who has also directed Macbeth and Six Characters in Search of an Author at Chichester, which both transferred to the West End. Most recently he has directed Time and the Conways at the National Theatre and Pete Postlethwaite in King Lear.

Writer Lucy Prebble won the George Devine Award and the Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright for her debut play The Sugar Syndrome in 2004. On television, her work includes creating the series Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

After the run at Chichester, ENRON will transfer for a limited run at the Royal Court Theatre 17 September - 31 October.

ENRON is at Chichester Festival Theatre 11 July - 29 August.
