Cloud 9, a satire by Caryl Churchill, playing March 6 to April 4, 2009

A co-production of StageQ and Mercury Theatre

A hilarious take-no-prisoners assault on hypocrisy, Caryl Churchill's Cloud 9 is a whirlwind tour from 1880s Africa to 1980s London, confronting colonial sexual repression with a gender-bent cast of characters who traverse 100 years while aging only 25. Cross-casting over both sexual and racial lines, society's rigid expectations and stereotypes are brought into sharp focus as the characters struggle to fit their assigned roles in Victorian Africa and endeavor to find themselves in the changing sexuality of our time. Directed by Casey Sean Grimm.
