Department of Performing Arts presents Cloud Nine by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Fredrick J. Rubeck

Cloud Nine both parodies and spoofs the Victorian Empire and its rigid attitudes, especially toward sex and gender. There is Clive, a British aristocrat; his wife Betty (played by a man), their daughter Victoria (a rag doll); Clive’s son Edward (played by a woman); and Joshua, a native servant who knows what is really going on.

Admission: $12 or Elon ID. Reservations highly recommended and will be taken beginning January 11 by calling (336) 278-5650.

Note: Contains mature language and subject matter—viewer discretion is advised.
