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.
