West End hit Enron to run extra 14 weeks

Sound investment: Enron, which stars Sam West, second left, has been given an extended run in the West End after wowing London audiences at the Royal Court
12 April 2012

Hit play Enron is extending its West End run by 14 weeks until August.

The award-winning production was scheduled to close on 8 May after its transfer from the Royal Court to the Noël Coward Theatre. A new cast will be brought in to replace the team led by Samuel West and Tim Pigott-Smith.

The play, which uses music, dance and video in a highly inventive staging, tells how US energy company Enron was brought down by dodgy financial dealings.

It will now close on 14 August, the ninth anniversary of a whistle-blowing letter that precipitated Enron's collapse.

The show has been nominated for six Olivier Awards and has already scooped best director awards from the Evening Standard and the Critics Circle for Rupert Goold.

Producers have also scheduled a 10-week tour of Britain for the autumn. A Broadway production is due to open in April.
