Department of Performing Arts presents Cloud Nine by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Fredrick J. Rubeck
Black Box Theatre, Jan. 18-19 at 7:30 p.m.; Jan. 20 at 2 p.m.; Jan. 21-23 and Feb. 6-8 at 7:30 p.m.; Feb. 9 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.
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.
