Clive, the whtie man, imposes his ideals on his family and the natives. Betty, his wife, is played by a man because she wants to be what men want her to be; and Joshua, their black servant, is played by a white man because he wants to be what whites want him to be.\u003cbr\u003eThe second act is set in London in 1979--in the changing sexuality of our own time. The characters, who have ages only twenty-five years, have become more real to themselves, men suffer as well as women, and our identities are warped by conforming to unnatural norms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caryl Churchill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.60w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415901352","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48254295179401,"sku":"9780415901352","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_2cbd8a42-68c1-4497-ae0f-f5bbe3ea5a98.jpg?v=1788299208","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/cloud-9-9780415901352","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
