Description

"Sharp comedy and a serious purpose are splendidly combined in Cloud 9, Caryl Churchill's provocative and amusing study of sexual politics... It unlocks the imagination, liberates the mind, and leaves you weak with laughter." -Time Out

"Audacious and savagely funny. Mesmerizing." -Washington Post
