Cloud 9
Recommended by Ovation
Recommended for Ages 18+
Sex and Gender. Race and Power. Politics and Family. Plus Queen Victoria! Caryl Churchill’s biting satire boldly tackles them all. Set in both British Colonial Africa and 1970s London, Cloud 9 is an outrageously funny, thought-provoking look at the rigid boxes society puts us in — and what it takes to break free.
