Sex and gender. Race and power. Politics and family. Plus Queen Victoria! Antaeus Theatre Company presents Caryl Churchill’s outrageous, hilarious and bitingly satirical Cloud 9 in a fully partner-cast production. Casey Stangl directs for a March 10 opening at the Antaeus Theater in NoHo, with low-priced previews beginning March 3.
A no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners carnal romp, Cloud 9 boasts one of the most convoluted dramatic structures in contemporary theater. Starting out in the wilds of 19th century colonial Africa, then jumping a hundred years to 1970s London, the play features male characters played by women, female characters played by men, a dutiful matron who morphs into a vulnerable gay man and a patriarchal husband who becomes a mischievous five-year-old girl.
