Do you remember the name “Enron”?
To a lot of people, I think the details may be fuzzy, but the following words might come to mind:
Oil.
Business.
Scandal.
Dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs?
Ok, so the last one isn’t familiar to you yet, but it will be! Two of the Theatre UNB actors, Alex & Dylan, dropped by today to talk about their next big project: Enron, a play by Lucy Prebble. We talk a bit about the last production I saw them in, Our Country’s Good, and compare and contrast their experiences. They let slip that there may just be some dinosaurs in this play, and that it is a tragedy of comic proportions.
BONUS: they also perform a bit of a scene from the play, between the financier and the CEO, their two characters in the play.
Enron plays at Memorial Hall on UNB Fredericton campus, opening on Wednesday night at 8:00pm and running through and including Saturday night.
And don’t forget: if you are going to the play, you’re going to Memorial Hall anyway, so take along your e-waste to help recycling and help spread the message!
Music today:
- The Mohrs remind me of Spring (a little) with their song Youth from the Kings of Nowhere album.
- And Emilie Rae is probably not singing about Enron, but there may be Something Wrong anyway. Taken from her Frigid Fire album.
