A: Is for Art that revisits the past

Got to hand it to the Brits. They just came up with a play, that I for one can't wait to see. Get this, not a musical. It is a real play, based on Enron. As Enron employees were losing everything, others were pocketing fat bonuses, as they might today. Enron the play takes a detailed look at the US energy company of the same name which filed for bankruptcy eight years ago, with parallels being drawn between the early part of the decade and the current economic climate. Written by Lucy Prebble, the play will be showing in London from 17 September until 31 October. Talk about a scary Halloween.

In Houston, Texas that is, a musical version is taking place. Talk about a very sore nerve for many Houstonians, but the sheer psychological impact that the actual Enron debacle left on the American financial landscape seems like the perfect setting for a musical. Featuring two acts with six local actors playing up to 10 roles (including those Kenneth L. Lay, Jeffrey K. Skilling and Andrew S. Fastow), this is a revue of sorts. Enron's songs are show-tune parodies such as Thank Heaven for Off The Books Deals. To those who lost college funds, their life savings or even their homes, this play may bring some memories that were just starting to ease.

Enron it seems is back and this time maybe we will learn from it and realize the F.A.C.T.S.
