Critical Acclaim:
“’The Vote’ is a monumental and innovative theatrical achievement. This compelling human drama is Shakespearean in its depth and breadth while also being part musical, part improv, part comedy, and part theatre of the absurd. It even has some western partner dancing. At its heart, the play is a classic Greek tragedy with Darren Woods as the protagonist. He delivers a breathtaking and memorable performance as director and lead actor. ‘The Vote’ gets my vote as the best play of a shareholder meeting I’ve ever seen.”
Shareholder Meeting Broadway Reviews
ExxonMobil’s May 26, 2021 shareholder meeting, “The Vote,” is a carefully choreographed play in three acts. Through this play, the company demonstrates its broad artistic range. It had already written six fabulous fables that would have made Aesop proud. And then a three-act play! If you’d like some background on the historical origins of this captivating drama, please read “Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement.”
ExxonMobil Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Darren Woods is both the lead actor (in a starring cast of three) and director. Something very hard to do. Yet as both Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil since January 1, 2017, Mr. Woods has excellent experience in being his own boss. He demonstrates this with cool and competent, yet passionate, professionalism during the play. Mr. Woods is ably assisted by associate director and supporting actor Mr. Stephen Littleton, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Secretary. An unidentified and somewhat robotic female voice makes a cameo appearance as the theater manager providing useful logistical instructions to the audience.
