Cloud 9 tickets
About Cloud 9
A modern classic from one of Britain’s most influential playwrights.
In Victorian Africa, where Clive is a colonial administrator and patriarch, his wife, son and servant struggle to be what’s expected of them.
When the family turn up a hundred years later in 70s London, what can they make of themselves in a world where empire lingers and freedom calls?
With its audacious theatricality and razor-sharp wit, Caryl Churchill’s (Top Girls) landmark work continues to challenge how we think about gender, power and the legacies of empire.
Dominic Cooke (Mrs Warren’s Profession) directs a bold new production that brings fresh urgency to this daring and satirical classic.
For assisted performances, please book directly through the National Theatre.
