Enron

Lucy Prebble's thrilling docudrama tracks the rise and flameout of the Texas energy giant using a deft blend of naturalism, allegory, multimedia and dance. Drawing from a deep bag of theatrical tricks and riffling through found text, news videos and observed gestures, Prebble and wizardly director Rupert Goold supply Broadway theatergoers with the sort of play they demand—a sharp-witted and rollicking business thriller to dazzle the eye and tickle the brain. If Enron’s stock were still circling the ticker, my advice would be to buy, buy, buy.—David Cote
