(National Theatre at Home: Cloud 9)

Content: 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 1970s 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 landmark work continues to challenge how we think about gender, power, and the legacies of empire. Dominic Cooke directs a bold new production that brings fresh urgency to this daring and satirical classic, which was filmed live at the Lyttelton Theatre at the National Theatre in London, UK.
