CLOUD 9

A play by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Rajiv Paranavithana

An Amateur Production By Arrangement with ORiGiNTM Theatrical, on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. - A Concord Theatricals Company.

Caryl Churchill’s Cloud 9 is a two-act play about modern constructions of identity. Act 1 is set in British colonial Africa during the Victorian era, and introduces characters who are repressed - both internally and by the world around them. The play explores the damaging nature of rigid identity categorisation and sees their world turn to chaos. Act 2 shifts forward 100 years to London in 1979, while the same characters only age 25 years. The audience observes how the shackles of oppression linger even in contemporary society. Cloud 9 challenges traditional notions of gender, race, and sexuality, adopting elements of surrealism and epic theatre and using a non-traditional casting approach.

Starring: Ashi Mashoof, Charlie Milne, Eryn Kralj, Lelum Rathnayake, Mary McAuliffe, Oswin Kwan, Regan Holmes.
