Samuel French Ltd Cloud Nine - A Play by Caryl Churchill
Written for Joint Stock this theatre companys workshop for the play was sexual politics thus giving Caryl Churchill the idea for her parallel between colonial and sexual oppression. Act I takes place in Victorian Africa whilst Act II is set in modern London. Much interplay is made of gender and colour: for example Clive the white settler has a black servant Joshua who is played by a white because he wants to be what the whites want him to be. Hilarious and thoughtprovoking.show more
