Cloud Nine
|
YALE SCHOOL OF DRAMA presents CLOUD NINE by Caryl Churchill, directed by Margot Bordelon
January 22-26, 2013.
ABOUT CLOUD NINE
In a tropical outpost of Queen Victoria's glorious Empire, Betty is the perfect wife and mother of an upstanding colonial family. Fast forward 100 years to the urban jungle of contemporary London. Betty and her children must redefine themselves in a world of rapidly changing social norms. Renowned playwright Caryl Churchill's hilarious and politically charged satire still challenges our assumptions about gender, sexuality, race, and family, and urges us to question the roles we play and the forces that shape us.
CLOUD NINE will be performed at the University Theatre, 222 York Street in New Haven. Tickets, $10-$25, are available online at drama.yale.edu, by phone at (203) 432-1234, and in person at the Box Office (1120 Chapel Street at York Street). |

The musical accompaniment, both live and recorded, represents the best of early jazz, including Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin, Duke Ellington, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and more.

Featuring Nan Meneely

Her book, Letter from Italy, 1944, provides the libretto for an oratorio by the same name composed by her sister, Sarah Meneely-Kyder, which is now in rehearsal for an April performance by the Greater Middletown Chorale.
On the third Thursday of each month, The Poetry Institute Poetry Series celebrates an eclectic mix of poetic voices. Free. Refreshments. Open mic. Outstanding featured readers. In a casual setting. Open to all (even poets).
