Cloud 9

In Cloud 9 there are many deliberate connections between the actors and the characters they play as well as cross-gender casting. I tried to make it obvious to the audience when a character is played by an actor of the opposite gender as well as which characters are played by the same actors.
Act I of Cloud 9 is set in an English colony in Africa in the 1880s. Act II is set in England in the 1980s, but is only 25 years later in the characters lives.
