    Thank you LATW. For anyone who can't travel to see a production these recordings are a godsend.
    Loved this. So vibrant and well voiced. Captures all the pathos of big greed and stupidity. Incredibly profound to the last second.

    A black comedy about the meltdown of the company that defined bold marketing strategies still taught in business schools around the nation. The excesses of the company are laid out in rather muted form, not going into details that get beyond the level of a basic audience to comprehend. The character of Skilling is the key to this play; he developed the system that created the problem, and was unable to recognize the inability of his system to continue to make money without delivering the goods. Strange touches, such as living raptors and a board wearing three blind mice masks, create a somewhat surreal sense that is yet not more surreal than the very real business dealings being undertaken. Well written, well researched, and a much bigger hit in England than America, for reasons that are not explicable to me.
