Vertigo Theatre’s Cloud 9 weathers satire and sex In Cloud 9, sexuality and racial strife take center stage, spanning 100 years in two acts for a Victorian family. Its members, however, age only 25 years. And so it goes that Caryl Churchill’s landmark 1978 play may prove, yes, a lofty experience. Featuring enough quotable one-liners to fill a cumulonimbus (look it up), Cloud 9 follows gender-bending characters through both British colonial Africa and modern London. Sexual oppression, political op pression, societal oppression... and more sexual oppression dominate the award-winning satire, brought to Portland by Theatre Vertigo in its first show of the 2 0 1 1 -1 2 season. Directed by Artists Repertory Theatre’s Jon Kretzu, this latest pro duction is rumored to include audience participation— so if you’re prone to rosy cheeks (or other effects of ribald language), you may want to wear a nice autumn turtleneck to hide beneath. The cast, most of whom are Vertigo vets, take on Churchill’s chal lenge, testing theatrical and cultural norms with cross-racial and cross- gender portrayals. Given Kretzus resume— for Artists Rep alone, he’s helmed everything from Love! Valour! Compassion! to Othello — some thing tells us they’ve got it under control. A storm of infidelities, comings out and gender expressions fall under the zany umbrella that is Cloud 9. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll run for emotional cover. And fortunately, you’ll learn about the dark side of con formity from the comfort of an otherwise climate-controlled room. #> Through Nov. 12, 8 p.m .; Theater Iheatre, 3430 SE Belmont St.; $15, 'Thursdays arepay-w hat-you-w ill; 503-306-0870 or theatrevertigo.org.
