"Sharp comedy and a serious purpose are splendidly combined in Cloud
9, Caryl Churchill's provocative and amusing study of sexual
politics... It unlocks the imagination, liberates the mind, and leaves
you weak with laughter." -Time Out
"Audacious and savagely funny. Mesmerizing." -Washington Post
Cloud 9 is about relationships - between women and men, men and men,
women and women. It is about sex, work, mothers, Africa, power,
children, grandmothers, politics, money, Queen Victoria and Sex. Cloud
9 premiered in London at the Royal Court Theatre in 1979, then was
revived for a two-year run in New York City (1981). It has since been
staged all over the world.
