Cloud 9
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by Seonjae Kim Presented by Sit & Spin Productions at Northwestern University, February 2014 Cloud 9 takes place in repressive British Colonial Africa and groovy 1979 London, inviting us into the lives of people coping with loneliness through taboo expressions of sexuality. Capturing the zeitgeist of two complex eras, Cloud 9 is a hilarious, gender-bending, sexy, dark, grotesque, heartbreaking exploration of sexual politics, oppression, and our struggle to connect with each other and with who we are inside. Featuring A.J. Roy, Bea Sullivan-Knoff, Sarah Cartwright, Elizabeth Dauterman, Zoe Maltby and Wilson Shirley Producer: Bex Siegel Assistant Director: Samantha Spoll Stage Manager: Claire Huntington Dramaturg: Dylan Pickus Outreach Coordinator: Anna Baryshnikov Composer: Alex Benjamin Dialect Coach: Natalie C.
